I looked at the patch, it removed a simple check for '.' characters in the namespace name. That doesn't remove support for nested namespaces (which, IMO, are of doubtful use compared to namespace com.foo.bar.baz), does it? Lionel PS: I'd like to underline the importance of namespace com.foo.bar.baz to us as large, diverse organisation. A solution like namespace com.foo.bar.baz would give us finally the tool to build large shell function libraries. _______________________________________________ ast-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-developers
