Hi Pritpal, It's highly unlikely that function names or namespaces are copyrighted. This is rather a design and package management issue. If you use original Xbase++ names, you create a potential name collision with another tool trying to implement the same thing. In practice this could be a prob

Hi Pritpal, Sorry to jump it but I fail to see why should we rush a new proprietary type into the core, while it has a proper 3rd party solution. There could be lots of other types introduced into core by this reasoning. Datetime's only "merit" seems that some proprietary xbase dialects have alr

Hi Chen, Yes, we either need to convert or cast when dealing with the outside world. Not just OS APIs, but any 3rd party APIs. This is what we do now, but in the future we can add more built-in APIs for conversion, if our internal representation becomes better defined and/or more sophisticated.
