So you mean the syntax for module namespacing would be “::” for everything?
Yeah that would probably solve some other related problems as well. I’m not
very fond of the “::” separator. But yeah, I think a different separator would
be better than the “from” keyword, then. Maybe we can come up with a nicer
separator? the options I can think of are (in order of preference):
Foo:Bar
Foo::Bar
Foo#Bar
Foo@Bar
Anything too different from this would be too exotic. Would there be too much
problem with a single colon “:”?
struct Baz: Foo:Bar {
...
}
let dictionary: [Swift:String: Foo:Bar] = [:]
I’m sensing yes. :(
