in reply to Re: Syntax checking without BEGIN blocks
in thread Syntax checking without BEGIN blocks

IMO it is a module writer's responsibility, if at all possible, to allow the module user to check their own code without side effects.

That assumes no incompetence or malice on the part of the module writer. One of the first tests of competence is to see if the module is will actually pass a syntax check.

The problem of how to do that safely is really the one I'd like to address.
