Abstract
A problem in supporting reusability of libraries and frameworks is that
the programming conventions which need to be followed are only informally
described. Safer reuse would result if these conventions could be enforced,
preferably at compile time. This paper suggests a technique for this by
means of an extensible attribute-grammar based compiler.
