Could you please expand on this point? How do you propose to do this incrementally from an implementation point of view? I am asking these questions from an engineering standpoint. In particular, are you suggesting a rewrite (essentially from scratch, using the current implementation as a guide)? -- steve _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
