Yes, and there are people who insist on drinking and driving, that doesn't mean cars should be designed with that as a motivating assumption. There are just too many places where you are going to get name clashes, where something which is _obvious_ in one context will have a different ( and _obvious_ ) meaning in another. Lets just keep the namespaces clean, and not worry about inter-module conflicts. -- Crutcher Dunnavant <crutcher at gmail.com> littlelanguages.com monket.samedi-studios.com
