[Gambas-user] Proposal for namespace support

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

Here is the result of my thoughts about namespace support.

I tried to find the simpler and less disturbing solution for the 
interpreter code.

1) A new syntax for exporting classes.

' Class MyClass
Export As NameSpace:PublicName

will export the class MyClass in the global table as "NameSpace:PublicName"

The MyClass name is still available inside the code of the current project.

Note that the old 'Export' keyword alone would be an equivalent of 
'Export As MyClass'

2) A new syntax for class names.

Dim A As NameSpace:PublicName

will automatically get the class named 'NameSpace:PublicName class' in 
the global table by the export made in 1)

Do you think that it fulfills the needs detailed in the previous thread 
about namespaces?
