Since the applications of Oberon-S3 are apparently students'
projects, it is appropriate for each student to write his
own eg. [version of] Char2Hex procedure.

So we may have many [redundant] procedures loaded at any 
time.

How is this situation handled in 'proper' systems; eg. linux kernel ?
In 'industry' don't they have a library catalogue, where the 
existing procedures are re-used ?

Right now I don't know what this implies about "@" ?
