I don't think it has been implemented just yet. I thought it would make 0.3, but it looks like nothing has happened in that direction yet. But there's absolutely nothing preventing it, except for the fact that the Julia developers don't seem to want a profusion of dots everywhere. It's not such a useful thing in a language with multimethods, I think. > > Harold: Julia does have a module system, which Bill illustrated, that > uses the dot to access members of the module.
