I dont think this is a good option. Having features dictated by trying to keep the lexer/parser clean is a bad idea. If the lexer cannot be fixed, I think the better option is to ruin things for people calling things Bool, rather than compromising the feature. (I am assuming that people are still able to call things \mynamespace\bool -- if not, that changes things). Thanks, Paul -- Paul Biggar paul.biggar@gmail.com
