Date: Wed, 15 Feb 95 12:46:01 +0100 From: bertrand@eiffel.fr (Bertrand Meyer @ SOL) Subject: Response to Paul Johnson To: NICE-ESG-Libs@atlanta.twr.com Some serious debate is to be expected on COMPARABLE and HASHABLE. I hope we will come to a consensus, but either a consensus or a vote will not be reached for several weeks. The very idea of a vintage 95 is that it should appear early in the year, and that things can still be changed for the following year. As Paul himself says, his argument >> could be extended to the next set of >> revisions, and the next and the next. There is nothing special about COMPARABLE and HASHABLE. They are just coming for discussion now because they are next in the list. We need a published 1995 document now. -- Bertrand Meyer
