Hi Ingo,

most, is the missing of a module system. As long as Rebol doesn't
include a module system, it will be hard to handle library. >>

I agree completely. I thought RT was working on a module system for Core
3.0, so I kind of hesitate to start building something like a standard set
of libraries that would need to be redesigned when that happens.

<< Or, we should decide to use one of the many module handlers floating
around (or create one), and decide that this one will have to be used by
all library scripts. >>

Mabye the libmaster, when they are named, could talk with Carl about it and
get his recommendation, since he's "in the know" about what might be coming
down the pike. Then we might at least not be too far off track.

I think what hinders the conception of a rebol standard library the
most, is the missing of a module system. As long as Rebol doesn't
include a module system, it will be hard to handle library.

Or, we should decide to use one of the many module handlers floating
around (or create one), and decide that this one will have to be used by
all library scripts.


Kind regards,

Ingo
