Nevermind. I was fooling myself. The exist extensions appear to need declarations. So I am going to just require a declaration. Sorry for any confusion.

That's kind of what I was trying to figure out how to do. I'm trying to create a set of in-house extensions, similar to the exist:... extensions. These would be used pretty often, so it might be nice to not have to declare the module import. On the other hand, I could make it an external module import. I'm just trying to figure out the best approach to doing something like the exist:... extensions when they can all be represented by XQuery.

Subject: Re: [Exist-open] Adding modules - best way? You could use the Java API to implicitly load a module and declare it in the context of an XQuery. But I am not quite sure what or why you are trying to achieve this? Perhaps you could shed some light on your goals to help us understand your needs?
