Using type-specifiers such as <java.util.Vector> in let-expressions
and function formal parameter lists and results, is there a way to
avoid having to write the entire package prefix? Like many other
Java programmers, some of my package prefixes are quite long -
e.g. <kb7.mm3.general.Term> - and it would ease writing and readability
(as long as one ensures there's no ambiguity) if only the class-name
suffix (<Vector> or <Term>) could be used. Any equivalent of Java's
'package' prefix?
