As I am rediscovering namespaces as context indicators, I naturally tried to do
see the limits of the current system to see what I can do and what I can't.
# FooBar.nim
proc f(x: int): int =
return x + 2
# main.nim (or whatever)
from FooBar as baz import nil
# Expected:
discard f(2) # FAILS
discard FooBar.f(2) # FAILS
discard baz.f(2) # SUCCEEDS
# Surprising (to my eyes)
discard 2.baz.f # FAILS
Two things:
* Is there a way to make the import statement less ugly while still avoiding
namespace pollution and conveying the same intent? If not, would you consider
adding some sugar to make it appear more idiomatic? (not that anyone would be
forced to use it)
* Is there a strong reason why the last statement in the code fails?
