We used to have the following in our code
import Base: convert, promote_rule, show, string, parseint, serialize,
deserialize, base, bin, dec, oct, hex, gcd, gcdx, lcm, div,
size,
zero, one, sign, hash, abs, deepcopy, rem, mod, isequal
But in the latest update something seems to have changed. We only seem to
get it to work if we explicitly import Base.convert, Base.promote_rule,
Base.show, etc.
The documentation now says:
The import keyword supports all the same syntax as using, but only operates
on a single name at a time.
However, I don't understand what that means. It sits right after an example
where "using Base:" is used as per the "import Base:" example I give above.
I don't know if it is telling me I can or can't use that syntax for
"import".
Could someone clarify what the changes are?
Bill.
