nest syntax alternative

[Maarten Van Puymbroeck]

Hello,

Just thinking out loud here.

Remi's proposals about the nest syntax and flattening of nested subtypes
gave me the idea of "package files".
This would allow all classes of a package to be defined in one file instead
of a directory, making them implicitly part of the same nest without the
nested class issue (if it's considered an issue). The concept would be
compiled away completely.

shedding a bike:

package com.test.expressions {
  sealed class Expr {}
  record Value(int value) extends Expr;
  record Add(Expr left, Expr right) extends Expr;
}

Apart from the choice of nest host, this probably has other concerns. But
maybe the idea might spark some other ideas...

Kind regards,
Maarten.
