Paul,

I have a question.  Given the following example from your note:

    decl {type:"def(myint: int) returns bar",
	  french_doc:"Bonjour",
	  english_doc: "Hello"}
    def func( myint ):
	    return bar()

how is the compiler supposed to associate a particular "decl {...}" with a
particular function?  Is it just by order in the file?
