Hi anthony I think that classes are not packages. I think that this really important not to have classes as packages. Because packages are groups of declaration (class def, method def, var def). We can unify everything and at the end we got a magna. Some programming languages try to unify classes and modules but conceptually this is really different and when you teach concepts about OO you never have classes as subsystem. So I would vote really against it. Stef On dimanche, novembre 17, 2002, at 07:34 pm, Anthony Hannan wrote: > Ned Konz <[email protected]> wrote: >> Again, we need some kind of modeling of packages.
