Unit Definitions & Requirements

Multi-unit Namespaces

All interfaced symbols in unit "a.b.c" and "a.b.d" and "a.b.*" will be emitted into the namespace "a.b". The unit class that stores global variables and global procedures is named "a.b.Units.c". C# code (for example) would access type TFoo definind in unit "a.b.c" as try a.b.TFoo. If the unit name does not contain dots then the namespace is the unitname along and the unit class is .Units.
