It may be that Poly/ML already returns the most sensible reference, but that the IDE could treat this case specially to indicate more clearly that the declaration is not actually available. Anyway, this is just a very minor UI issue. Best, Tjark _______________________________________________ polyml mailing list polyml@inf.ed.ac.uk http://lists.inf.ed.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/polyml
