Hi,

Currently in parse-component-form function, duplication of names are checked but modules and files are put to the same category. Is there any particular reason for this restriction?

They are in the same namespace.

e.g. I can't have both

foo.lisp foo/

in the same folder since (:module :foo) and (:file "foo") will conflict in names.

AFAICT this is the Right Thing, since (:depends-on ("foo")) has no way of knowing whether you mean the module or the file....

Best, r
