Re: Namespace suggestion

I too dabbled with Modula-2.

There's little to stop you (if you really want to) from defining module
variables as members of an overall structure. EG.

Original:

module mmm
real(8) :: aa
real(8) :: bb
integer :: ii
end module mm

Modified:

module mmm_mod
type mmm_type
real(8) :: aa
real(8) :: bb
integer :: ii
end type mmm_type
type(mmm_type) mmm
end module mmm_mod

This would require use of mmm%aa instead of just aa.

....not sure how far one can go with this. just an idle idea...
