<body class='hmmessage'>Modula-3 and quake both support writing comments already. :)<BR>

I guess a "cross referencing" scheme would be nice, but to some extent that should be automatic.<BR>
To some extent, or entirely, it is what Reactor is. All the calls to a function or references to a type are immediately findable, I think.<BR>
<BR>
All you really need is a) a completely global namespace so every identifier is unique b) plain text search based on an index.<BR>
<BR>
I like C++ and I like some about Modula-3, but hierarchical namespaces really stink in the face of (indexed) plain text search, and no other kind of search can keep up with large codebases. How do I find uses of this particular "T" when people can and do make aliases? I realize C has typedefs to establish aliases, and nesting, so that argument is somewhat moot (the point is more relevant for C++, trying to make it Modula-3-relevant). In C++, how do I search for calls to a particular operator=? Or to a constructor?<BR>
<BR>
I'm just being obnoxious.<BR>
