Ok, you're right. in the example I mentionned, the Xref should at least say: "I don't know". However, it pretends knowing what it does and gives me the wrong answer. This is a bug. Saying that it didn't know would be a missing feature, which I could accept. I see that probably you'd have to remove the Xref completely to prevent giving false answers. > I'll put it another way for you "do you plan to implement a complete > scoping system?" > > The answer is "at some point, when we have time". > > Note that what you are asking us to do doesn't exist > in SN yet. Maybe some hack or work around could be used, I didn't know there was little (or none at all?) scoping support. I only guessed :-) Note: I would not dare asking you to implement it. I rather ask _if_ you planned to implement it, and heck, this is not the same The essence of my postings: Having a good xref is the most important thing for me. I don't care much about other features, I just want a good xref, and I want you to know that. thanks, tom
