On the Need for Fewer Restrictions in Changing Compile-Time Environments.
Abstract
To encourage the compartmentalization of information and at the same time to allow efficient code generation, the authors propose the relaxation of present restrictions on changes in the compile-time environment. The proposal is an attempt to make the implementation of the program organization and specification techniques described in other papers practical. In contrast to other work on languages for structured programming, the authors do not address mechanisms for using this feature to implement any particular type of abstraction (e.g. abstract data types). The concern is only with returning to the programmer a capability he needs to write well-structured programs. Other mechanisms are left for higher levels.
