Nope. I would like to have this brain-damaged facility just
for compatibility purposes. But with a small extension: recursion.
When implementing an auto documentation facility a couple of
years ago, I found myself craving for the ability for
creating symbols of the form foo:bar::baz:froboz... .
Instead, I had to do a lot of hacking
fiddling with symbols of the form foo:|bar::baz:foboz...|
BTW, I spent last year using ILOG Talk, and I found
the automatic module management facilities really cool,
like a flashback from Eiffel development.
