Hello Lutz,

Is it possible to have nested contexts (nested objects) ?

example:

>(context 'one)
one>(context 'two)
one'two>(context 'three)
one'two'three>(set 'four "value")
one'two'three>(context 'MAIN)

>one'two'three:four
"value"

Norman.

That was possible in an early implementation, but it introduces too much complexity (context hirarchiy ~ object hirarchy, scoping rules etc).
