Until now I could do this:
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:
You must have realized by now I'm an lazy old fart

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.
