When I was talking about a gratuitous restriction, I was talking about disallowing a procedure implementation (or separate body, or whatever we call it) from being in the same module as the separate interface (or whetever we call that). I quite agree that modules that can be imbedded within other modules would be a new feature (and one that I'd have serious reservations about also). If we wanted to allow it, we'd have to actively add new syntax and answer several new questions about how it worked. I don't favor that at the moment, and it certainly isn't anything that has been in previous drafts of the TR. I would think it something that would add significant complication to the TR. -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; Richard.Maine@nasa.gov | experience comes from bad judgment. | -- Mark Twain
