Yay, I agree. > We just need to work out exactly what, and where. I guess > it's possible in loadinit...but we maybe wouldn't need PGE's help on > that, since it's a property of a PAST::Block.

I don't know how it looks down at that level without > checking. :-) It's no problem -- PGE's output should stay as an AST until it gets processed by the POST::Compiler, at which point it gets converted to PIR (and POST::Compiler can pass along any needed :outer options, as it does already). So, we just get PGE to generate loadinits as well. (There's also the slim chance that as part of upcoming refactorings PGE will switch to generating POST instead of PIR directly, which would also resolve the problem.) Pm
