s/proposed/foisted to use the term from classical logic.

Sorry a module system based on package objects will have to wait for 2.17.

@som-snytt
Might as well propose your design instead of being snarky. Maybe it's worth giving up package objects for ;)

@Kaishh it's a follow-up to my comment when I approved the proposal PR.

@som-snytt
If you mean the following comment, it's a bit too vague.

The best part is that it blows the future wide open to re-introduce package objects as a module system.

Scala's objects and package objects already form a very powerful module system, a clarification might help convey what system you envision exactly.

(I never answered the question what are package objects good for. I always liked the original idea to use them to define API, like exports. I wonder if they could have interacted with Java modules.)
