I can't speak to that. However: > I think the base one should have the maximum number of distinct > subspaces with special functions to access them... No, no, a hundred times no. There is no "maximum" number. (You may, perhaps, be underestimating the perversity of language designers.) The current plan of an (almost) unified namespace for all code and data, where it's up to the language implementor to design a name mangling scheme, has the advantage of being known to work. -- Chip Salzenberg - a.k.a. - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "I don't really think it is a question of bright people and dumb people, but rather people who can see the game they're playing and those who can't." -- Joe Cosby
