Re: something akin to Java's "package" in libraries

On the other hand, I haven't been working with any modules that go more than 3 deep in the hierarchy, so I'd like to hear feedback from someone writing a library with multiple modules that lives deep in the hierarchy (Sven - perhaps you qualify with Graphics.Rendering.OpenGL.GL?).

Then make it wider! The main point of having a hierarchical namespace, is, IMO, to avoid namespace collisions. (You don't need to use Usenet or DNS for a long time to realise that a hierarchy isn't well suited for searching) For all I care, OpenGL might be a top level namespace. :-) -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
