| Summary | Rename IMPORT /isolate and /only to /no-share and /no-lib |
|---|---|
| Description |
The main reason for this change is API consistency, but the new names lead to easier-to-understand option descriptions as well. This is part of an overall project to make the module system and the IMPORT function easier to use, and more useful. The only semantic change would be that /only implied /no-user (see #1680), but /no-lib doesn't. This means that IMPORT /no-lib without /no-user will instead import the module to the user context as a private module (see #1692). This is potentially a very useful trick. |
| Example code |
; New spec import: funct [ "Imports a module; locate, load, make, and setup its bindings." module [word! file! url! module! block!] /version ver [tuple!] "Module must be this version or greater" /check sum [binary!] "Match checksum (must be set in header)" /no-share "Force module to use its own non-shared global namespace" /no-lib "Don't export to the runtime library (lib)" /no-user "Don't export to the user context" ] |
