Very interesting, thanks! I find that concepts in my code are fairly stable, but their names aren’t. Completely separating the concerns of identifying a concept and naming a concept might make sense in large systems. But it obviously makes it more difficult to edit source code (no more vi...). -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer [email protected] home: rauschma.de twitter: twitter.com/rauschma blog: 2ality.com
