Packages are collections of symbols that serve as name spaces.
|
|
The parser recognizes symbols by looking up character sequences
|
|
in the current package. Packages can be used to hide
|
|
names internal to a module from other code. Mechanisms are provided
|
|
for exporting symbols from a given package to the primary ``user'' package.
|
