For example:<br />
<br />
* 8094: Provide a canonical style for source code layout<br />
* 8098: Mandatory module prefix for imported module definitions<br />
* 8099: Disallow circular imports<br />
* xxxx: Private as default visibility for module definitions<br />
* xxxx: Disallow references in pattern strings<br />
* xxxx: Explicit imports<br />
* ...<br />
<br />
Individual rules should be optional to assure backwards compatibility. Those rule could be configured by some kind of project manifest, or file-local by pragma directives. Examples from other languages:<br />
<br />
* Perl: use strict; <br />
* Python: from __future__ import nested_scopes<br />
* Visual Basic: Option Strict On<br />
* C#: #pragma warning disable 414, CS3021</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Steps To Reproduce</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Additional Information</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Tags</td><td class="print" colspan="5">No tags attached.</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Relationships</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Attached Files</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr><td class="print-spacer" colspan="6"><hr size="1" /></td></tr><tr><td class="form-title">Issue History</td></tr><tr class="print-category"><td class="row-category-history">Date Modified</td><td class="row-category-history">Username</td><td class="row-category-history">Field</td><td class="row-category-history">Change</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">12-01-2023 14:09</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=1237">Matthias Simon</a></td><td class="print">New Issue</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">05-09-2023 10:50</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></td><td class="print">Note Added: 0016521</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">05-09-2023 10:50</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></td><td class="print">Assigned To</td><td class="print"> =&gt; Jens Grabowski</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">05-09-2023 10:50</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></td><td class="print">Status</td><td class="print">new =&gt; assigned</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">07-11-2023 13:40</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></td><td class="print">Note Added: 0016535</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">26-01-2024 16:31</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=769">Olivier Genoud</a></td><td class="print">Note Added: 0016615</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">16-12-2024 11:49</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></td><td class="print">Note Added: 0016723</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">16-12-2024 11:49</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></td><td class="print">Status</td><td class="print">assigned =&gt; resolved</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">16-12-2024 11:49</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=82">Jens Grabowski</a></td><td class="print">Resolution</td><td class="print">open =&gt; fixed</td></tr></table>

				- 8094: Core language shall not be mixed up with coding style guides and in general the coding style shall be project specific. Nevertheless, a configurable 'beautifier' tool could be helpful, e.g. to achieve a common indentation.<br />
- 8098: The proposal is not backward compatible and would cause us to change everything (all function calls would need a module prefix)! In general naming conventions shall be project-specific with project specific tools checking them.<br />
- 8099: There is no need to handle potential code smells at core language level, but projects may define what shall be considered as code smell and how to avoid these code smells (e.g. by appropriate tools).			</td>
