In a nutshell, 'namespaces'. Switching among parts libraries to get different versions (or different data) should be an application capability, not the individual part file. (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Well, if thats how you really feel, then why even bother to "write up a spec/reference page on 0 IFDEF" at all.
