This is less useful. The simplest case that I use locale for is writing a_z_=:a_t_ with a_t_ an explicit definition that uses all the things defined in locale 't'. I could do it, had 'a' been a verb. With 'a' an adverb or conjunction, I have to suffix all names in 'a_t_' with '_t_', and as you mentioned this is less desirable as I can't override those definitions with the locale path any more.
Is there any other way to work around it? I guess I can always do coinsert't' but that leaves open the possibility of name collisions and removes benefits of locales. > On Mar 31, 2017, at 8:40 AM, 'Pascal Jasmin' via Programming > <programm...@jsoftware.com> wrote: > > "The rule" is that "Semi tacit" modifiers can implicitly access members of > their own locale.
