Re: use Module - to exclude or not to exclude...

I'd include everything, unless there's a name clash. And then I wouldn't use the 'tag list-of-excludes' style, but just the list of names I want to import. If there's no name clash, why bother with listing all the functions your program isn't using?

Thanks Abigail! I suppose it's like a toolbox with different compartments of tools for varied purposes. If you have some repair work to do and you know you only need tools from the first compartment, do you want to carry the whole box with you or do you want to take some trouble and bring only tools from that first compartment.

Well, if the box weighs .0001% more with all the tools than just the tools I want, and some effort to sort through the tools to pick out the ones I want, I'd probably just take the whole box and use the ones I need. Presumably the tools are related somehow (they are in the same box), it isn't at all unlikely that I might need one I hadn't planned on using initially...	[reply]
