--- Comment #3 from Abel Braaksma <abel.braaksma@xs4all.nl> ---
I think I agree with Max here. In the analogy with classes, if a class uses a
library, then when someone uses that class, it would automatically import and
open the used libraries. Existing languages don't work this way.
If you have package A, B, C, and package X uses A, B and C. Then you distribute
package X and someone uses your package, then all from A, B and C will
immediately be exposed as well, even though they are in entirely different
packages.
This seems counter-intuitive: a user writes <xsl:use-package name="X"> and he
gets everything from packages with names A, B and C as well, without writing a
use-package statement for it. That's a surprising side-effect.
Yes, we have a workaround to flip the default. And yes, I believe this was
discussed before as well and there are pros and cons to both sides, but I lean
towards flipping the default. I don't see much harm in doing so, in fact, I
think it is a good improvement.
