Now I'm starting to wonder if it's a good idea, too: I just noticed 'block_found', which throws a monkey wrench into some of my ideas. Sigh. Maybe it really would be wisest to get namespace support working first. While trying to understand lookup_symbol_aux, I've cleaned it up a bit (in order to eliminate duplicate code, etc.); I'll probably submit patches for those, since I think they'll make it easier to maintain the function in the future. But, for now, I'll hold off on any more serious changes. David Carlton carlton@math.stanford.edu
