Personally I think this effort should be restricted to containers, so that everything is logically related. If it is successful, then perhaps we can perform a similar effort for other useful stuff like GUI's. While it might just be possible to get a container facility in the next Ada standard, I don't think we'd have much chance if it were combined with something as contraversial as a GUI. At best, the namespace would have to be rearranged. We might as well just not put unrelated stuff together in the first place. >"Components" need not all be "Containers". Maybe we could lose the whole >"Containers" part and make a flatter tree? Something like >ACL.Lists.Unbounded? Yes, that's what I was talking about (minus the adding of unrelated stuff, of course). >It could also be over-used - Access Control Lists?
