Extend UseModule to accept a file name as 2nd argument

[fsw]

Until now I could do this:

Code: Select all

XIncludeFile "myGUI_3v1.pbi"

to get access to my lib.

With Modules I have to do that:

Code: Select all

XIncludeFile "myGUI_3v1.pbi"
UseModule myGUI

In the future it would be awesome to allow this:

Code: Select all

UseModule myGUI "myGUI_3v1.pbi"

You must have realized by now I'm an lazy old fart
Thanks for reading.

Code: Select all

Macro UseModuleLazy(name,file)
	XIncludeFile file
	UseModule name
EndMacro

Do never forget the power of macros!

UseModule myGUI "myGUI_3v1.pbi"

If I am asking to include a PBI file in my program,
I think everything inside the PBI file, such as Modules
should be usable in my program.

That's why I'm including the file in my code.

I shouldn't have to state the obvious.

Considering there are two ways to access a module: UseModule and "nameofthemodue::object" and the fact they have very different implications the idea of always applying a "UseModule" to every module included it's a very bad one.
There are more reasons, but this is enough already.
