description

    
In CondExpandCowan, the test for the existence/importability of a module is to specify the module name.  However, this means module names can't begin with `and`, `or`, or `not`.  Draft 3 instead specifies `(module `''module-name''`)`, and I think this is better.

 What CondExpandCowan says, which is what we voted for in ballot 2::
   Library names can be used on the same level as feature identifiers (leads to unacceptable ambiguous BNF)

 What the draft says, and what I now favor, but ''not'' what we voted for::
   Library names must be wrapped in a `(library ...)` form

 The alternative::
   Don't allow library names at all

So the choice for this ticket is between the last two.

I'm not sure why there is an ambiguity here.  Unless a library name is automatically considered a <feature identifier>, which doesn't appear to be true, then `library` must be wrapped around a library name in order to use it in a `cond-expand` clause.

John, when you say "I ''want'' the feature," which feature do you want?  The ability to specify a library directly as a <feature identifier>, or just the ability to specify a library through a ''library'' clause?

Reopening this, because even if there is no other proposal that resolves the ambiguity, it can be resolved by removing the feature.  I ''want'' the feature, but the WG has to vote it in if we are to have it.

The draft already specifies this, and there is currently
no non-ambiguous alternative proposed, so closing the
issue.

Now of course this is `(library `''library-name''`)`.
