I understand why it may seem like a good idea to have (foo) => "foo/main.sls" in addition to the usual (foo) => "foo.sls" mapping. [I added it to Ikarus to be compatible with PLT, and thought it was a good idea at the time] Now "foo/main.sls" has serious problems, mainly, when you have libraries names (foo main). The workarounds are well known, and so are the problems associated with them. It seems to me that this ^main^ convention is beneficial only to libraries whose names is a single component, e.g., (foo). Libraries distributed in a collection do have a common prefix and don't usually need an implicit ^main^ file. (right?) I also noticed that the two carets are very disturbing and this might have severe long-term effect on your visual apparatus (maybe more than Scheme's excessive use of hash marks). I think the second reason by itself is sufficient to drop the caret-main-caret convention, but would like to know what others think. Are the benefits worth the complications? Should they be dropped or kept? Aziz,,,
