I think the main thing is to modify ams classes to remove theorems and
put them in a proper module. This means:
1/ theorems-ams should be updated to latest ams classes changes
2/ does it really need to be called *ams? It does not really rely on
amsmath's version of newtheorem, does it?
3/ all the other classes should be modified to use the new theorems
modules if possible. The goal (if we are serious with this modules
idea) is to remove all home-made theorems entries.
4/ it /should/ be possible to obtain have two separate modules:
* numberallastheorem.module: when loaded, every theorem-like uses the
theorem counter, otherwise everyone has its own
* nonumbering.module: as the name says.
* numberinsection.module: when loaded, all counters are reset at
section change (otherwise numbering is continuous).
Note that I am not 100% sure that this thing is possible, but
otherwise we need 5 different modules to account for all
possibilities.
All this cries for being able to declare options in modules or
classes, and have 'If numberinsection Then' in the module file.
However, I do not see how to implement this cheaply.
I like the modules idea, but we have to provide a very clean set of
default modules, since we are going to support them for a long time.
We also need to evaluate how/whether lyx2lyx should fix the files to
use the new modules (add a module entry for ams files since we remove
the theorems layouts by default?).
