Subject: Re: Managing module names
[En Francais: pourquoi ne pas profiter du systeme de fichiers pour
rendre plus souple l'usage de la hierarchie de modules?]
Concerning the module namespace:
as far as I know, Java uses some mapping of the namespace onto the
filesystem, allowing easy filing of libraries.
Caml has a hierarchized modules system, but only allows toplevel
modules to be mapped into files.
Would it be possible to make up some scheme that would to things like:
/graphics/blackwhite/main -> Graphics.Blackwhite.Main ?
Or, better: would it be interesting according to other users?
