To clarify the nested locale problem, if a is an instanced (numbered locale) object within the 'far' locale, and has member b, you canoot do
b__a_far_. The workaround that I have used is to modify coclass such that it creates a member in the 'OOP' locale. far_OOP- =: <'far' so now you can access nested as, b__a__far__OOP The first syntax would be preferable. I don't see much of a need for non-instanced locales within other locales. ie, a far (non instanced non numbered) locale within base locale a_far_base_ NB. not really needed. ________________________________ From: bill lam <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 7, 2017 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] locales with adverbs and conjunctions? nest locale is interesting. I think J can implement it by changing parser/tokenizer to recognize name_a$b$c_ as name in locale c within locale b which is inside locale a. a is in copath of a$b which is in copath of a$b$c.
