We are not to that point, I hope. I just got bit by the every other CPU an= d Maximum_Alignment issues within a few minutes. Both had solutions within= the existing language, but both need like they were designed to eat non-ex= perts alive. For example, I understand why System.Multiprocessing.Dispatch= ing_Domains is a separate subclause from System.Multiprocessing. But hiding= these packages is where I flipped out: NOTES 38 17 There are also some language-defined child packages of System defin= ed elsewhere.=20 Let's have a treasure hunt! No thanks. Why not list the packages and wher= e they are declared? (BTW, that gem comes from 13.7 The Package System...)
