Dear Albert,
There have been some changes to streams recently (in Q7.1 and Q7.8).
=A711.8 says that the streams are defined by
public type Stream =3D special const nil_stream, cons_stream X Xs;
However, the file <stream.q> no longer defines nil_stream,
cons_stream. Thus certain import statements don't work as expected,
e.g.
from stream import nil_stream, cons_stream;
The section *does* mention that these are now built-in. Perhaps it
should be clarified that they are therefore not importable.
I always feel a bit bad about sending "bug" reports like this. So I
must add that Q is one of my few favourite languages, and that I think
the documentation is both comprehensive and very comprehensible.
Best wishes,
Rob.
