Packages, aka namespaces, are mutable pointers from names to pads. They are emitted as part of PIL structure. Also, thanks for the earlier suggestion about modeling container types as parametric types; it's indeed a valid suggestion and I'll try to use that idea in my current prototype. Will write more when I get the automatic insertion of coercion statements working. Thanks, /Autrijus/
