Well, then the German and French bill generation specs better
tell FreeB how to loop over what, no ? Eg:
FreeB: Gimme the bill handles.
GnuMed: a,b,c,d
LOOP OVER billhandles:
FreeB: What is the type of bill for $billhandle ?
GnuMed: X12
FreeB: call_bill_handler('x12', $billhandle)
END LOOP
LOOP OVER generated_bills:
billing_group = call_insanely_complex_billing_grouper($bill_handle)
put $bill_handle into $billing_group bin
END LOOP
Now, bill_handler('x12') better know how to loop over what.
Same for bill_handler('german next-door neighbor'). That way
it shouldn't be necessary for FreeB proper to know how to loop
over french-phone-code.
