Is there any VERY SPECIAL reason behind that limitation?
What advantages gives removing that "limitation"? Is the price in
increased complexity worth paying?
nested modules, like in Modula. which were of almost no use and were
removed in Oberon.
A few languages have nested packages. Quite usefull for implementation
packages.
Beware of Wirth's quest for simplicity, even Go is a quite powerful in
regards to Oberon-07.
From my experience in the Oberon world, I got the feeling Wirth isn't
that happy with Active Oberon and Zonnon in terms of language evolution,
where he barely colaborated.
Hence why he eventually came up with Oberon-07, which is even more
minimalist than Oberon.
