I vaguely recall a brief discussion of this long ago, but don't see any reference to it on the libraries web page. What I had in mind is something like:

package Graphics.GL module Foo (...) where

import X import Bar.Y import Z ...

where the first conversion is module-name <- package-name ++ "." ++ module-name the larger issue would be how to convert imports to qualified imports (and module exports to qualified exports). i think (only my opinion) that something like: import X should be qualified to import Graphics.GL.X as X unless Graphics.GL.X doesn't exist, in which case it gets defaulted to import X , similarly for Bar.Y, gets qualified to: import Graphics.GL.Bar.Y as Y unless that doesn't exist, in which case it stays as it is. i suppose this presents a problem if there's a module Y in your package and a module Y which isn't and you want to only import the other one. i'm not entirely sure how java handles this, but from my fairly extensive experience in java, it's done well and i never had any problems with it in 50k+ loc. has this been discussed/considered at all? - Hal -- Hal Daume III "Computer science is no more about computers | hdaume@isi.edu than astronomy is about telescopes." -Dijkstra | www.isi.edu/~hdaume
