You misunderstood what I thought was important, or I was unclear, or
both. ;) I think shipping the mixin system (or any system that allows
module recursion) is important, not the open problems themselves. All of
the examples you mentioned (well, I don't know about Cobol, but all the
others) allow you to have recursive systems spread across multiple files to
reduce compile times, limit file length, and break things out conceptually.
The concept of a "forward declaration" is critical to writing large scale
software effectively, I think.
