This appears to be a case where it makes sense for a Gobo class to move
into FreeELKS. I'm not sure how the Gobo developers would feel about
that, but if the Gobo classes are better then it seems right that they
should be standard.
Now would be a good time to do such radical things. Of the three
compilers (EiffelStudio, Gobo and tecomp), presumably only the
EiffelStudio compiler has a significant amount of code reliant on FILE
at this point in time. Could FILE move out of FreeELKS? EiffelStudio
might move FILE into its base/ise cluster. Not much code would break
then, would it?
I haven't analysed what other dependencies might also have to move or be
rewritten, however. Maybe it's too much work.
