Re: Name spaces in programming languages

[Alfred M\. Szmidt]

   As usual, you failed to quote the relevant part of the email you're
   replying to.  That is very unfortunate because it makes it next to
   impossible to seriously discuss a specific technical issue with
   you.  In particular, you missed my point on functional languages.
   Too bad.

I quoted all relevant parts, I was talking about _most_ lisp's.  You
answered with Guile which isn't really a lisp in the classical sense
to begin with! Now think Common, Zeta, Mac, NIL, ....  All of the
classical lisps has a globally mutable name space, you _can_ subdivide
it a bit, but not much.
