I think that 10-20 reserved names is hardly such a burden that we would need anything more on top to avoid collisions -- especially if the list is fixed. The currently problem is that modules can be added to the stdlib that clash with existing 3rd party modules. That would no longer happen under my variation of the classification proposal, which would include a misc package. >>When it become trivial to grab and >>install non-stdlib modules, then the distinction between stdlib and not >>becomes even less important. >> > The distinction is still very important if I want my code to run with > minimal fuss on anyone's machine. Under the hypothesis 'trivial to install...' then the extra fuss would be small. Do you really consider 'little extra fuss' to be the same as 'lots of extra fuss'?
