It's not so easy to give short and still adequate names to the modules, but something like Db.Core.Storage looks much better then Dbstorage, and Storage can still be accessed just as "Storage" from modules of the same "package". Just a naming way, nothing more. ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
