Subject: Re: [9fans] A proposal regarding # in bind
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 16:26:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200302262126.h1QLQYO23923@fine1008.math.princeton.edu> (raw)
In some sense # has to be a special case. The / hierarchy is (potentially)
different for each process. The # hierarchy is not. You need a global
namespace from which to choose what to include in a local namespace. At least
you do if you want children to be able to bind things which were not in their
parents' name spaces. /ur or variants thereof in some sense hide a copy of
the global namespace inside the local one. Whether that's a good thing or a
bad thing is partially a matter of aesthetics. Since I actually like ed(1)
my opinion in questions of aesthetics should be regarded as worthless.
