Re: Defining a library in one file

Hi Carl,

I appreciate that step forward.

I'd consider naming the keywords "Use-Libraries" and "Use-Modules"
(these are case-independent according to DRM anyways), and then limit
the header to one occurrence of these keywords - similar to what
Gwydion Dylan does/did for compatibility.

I would require each "Use-*" keyword to span over a single line, which
is generally true for the file headers of Dylan files (see
http://opendylan.org/books/drm/Dylan_Interchange_Format).


I do not really see a reason for the module-exports header: I don't
see these single-file Dylan applications to libraries (meaning: if you
want to export something, use with make-dylan-app and have those files
separately). But maybe I don't see everything here.

On the implementation side, it'll be challenging to convince Open
Dylan to switch the home module within a single source file, but I'm
sure we'll be smart enough to figure out how to do that. I would
prefer to support it in the compiler, rather than generating temporary
Dylan/lid files.

Cheers,

Hannes
