When you run it immediately, you are right: The library is loaded at compile time. When you compile it as .pbc and run it, the lib isn't loaded ar runtime. *But*, when writing that stuff, one prelim was, that the compiler sees all libs in the same sequence as runtime does. So above code (or your second example) is illegal. > dynclasses/dynfoo.pasm is the example I was referring to.

The parser needs the information, that the lib provides, e.g. the classname. We could have a new P0, "className" too, of course, where everything happens at runtime and the parser doesn't know anything about that class. > This brings me back to my original question of whether the parser > should think ".Foo" is a macro at all, or if rather that's not legal > macro syntax.
