Re: keys %::

A better subject would be something similar to: 'Symbol table of the main-package'...

Update: I should have know that mentioning that %:: is the symbol table of the package main and that it therefor is a better title would get downvoted....
Noone cares how it is called right?

Now I really wonder why I stopped posting a few months ago...

FWIW it wasn't me to downvote you, if not for anything else because I don't have votes left for today... I think you got downvoted because you only made a cmt about the subject with no positive content re the actual question. I say so because something similar happened to me in the past. We may both dislike this kind of things but this is a community after all, so we have to accept its rules if we like to take part to it...	[reply]

Indeed. How 'bout "{unwritten,implicit} rule"? "Behavioural convention", maybe? This should be probably brought to PM Discussion - too bad we can't "crosspost" here. Or too good? Another good matter for PMD, incidentally...	[reply]

No but there are better ways of indicating that the subject should be changed like "considering" the node or messaging the author. That's why I downvoted it. /J\	[reply]

This is actually the root of the symbol table, isn't it? You might notice that 'main::' is included in the listings everyone posted. `mhoward - at - hattmoward.org`	[reply]
