You can do "let module ... in", so "global" is not equivalent to "module". I don't like open statements anyway because they require me to read many of the opened modules to discover which module provides the symbol. I prefer to establish one-letter module names if I feel the need for brevity, so "let module" is all I need. -- Tim Freeman tim@fungible.com Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? Who knows? Who cares?
