Modularity in Mesa
------------------

   We are presently working on a project concerning modularity in strongly
typed languages. We would appreciate some information on the Mesa module
concept, especially how in Mesa there may exist several program modules
for each definition. Does the programmer himself choose the appropriate 
implementation of the module he imports or does the system make the choice?
If so, how? Any pointers to pertinent literature would be helpful. 
Unfortunately we do not have a copy of the Mesa Language Manual available.
