'pico' is a bit special, because it is created at compile time. But it is simply a cons pair of two trees, like any other namespace. Namespaces which are created at runtime (with the 'symbols' function) are identical. The namespace for transient symabol is like 'pico' hard-compiled into the binary, and the namespace for external symbols too (though the latter is only a single tree because external (DB) symbols have only short names). ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
