Re: Dilemma: dot notation or attribute


dot notation in c
Hmm. That may be a worth a try.  I'll have to give it a bit of thought. 
  I'd still need the import_model element and aliasing because the 
namespace mechanism doesn't instruct a processor to import the model?? 
But having both seems to be a bit redundant...

Thank you for your suggestion!

Cheers,
Autumn
