I could live with either get_root_global or get_base_global. I may commit a patch that contains one or the other but only as a development step, not as a stealth vote. (You'll probably want to know that "get_base_global" has a slight object- orientation connotation from my C++ experience; in C++, a superclass is called a "base class". Whether this matters depends entirely on whether slight C++ semantic bleed is likely to interfere with the Parrot user base; and even I must admit that the answer is probably "no".) > I'll work on updating the namespaces PDD tomorrow. Great^3 that this happens automagically (from my POV) while I'm coding. :-D -- Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
