This is also something that could happen now in the same way. But I don't see anything wrong with having this ability: I can hack my own racket/list to do whatever I want, and therefore I should be able to make a package that has this hacked version of the file. I'd be mostly living in my own world whether this hack is done with a package system or directly. -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
