New Revision: 458

Added:
   branches/nw-interface/src/jar/itql/java/org/mulgara/itql/Aliasing.java
Log:
The idea of this interface is to keep aliases inside the package, but it will require Interpreter implementations to become package accessible only, as the interface forces them to make their interfaced methods public.

Added: branches/nw-interface/src/jar/itql/java/org/mulgara/itql/Aliasing.java
