| Summary | 0000490: when importing A.B, do not require importing A | ||||||||||||
| Description | Currently, a module X that imports A.B must also import A; if it does not, it gets an error about A.B being inaccessible. This makes C unnecessarily dependent on A, which is undesirable; for example, it leads to X having to be recompiled when a new submodule A.C gets added to A, even though X has nothing to do with A.C. This issue was discussed on m-rev in november of 2015 in a thread named "should we break up module_qual.m". This discussion reached a concensus in favour of this change. | ||||||||||||
