Implicits:I must be missing something really obvious

Please give us more context?

Can we see the 10-15 lines each way?

My guess would be that you're defining an implicit at top level, and
it has to be within an object or class.

Yes, you're right--it wasn't at top level. I only skimmed the chapter
on implicits, and they looked so simple :-)

Now I have to go figure out how to put it in an object or class and
make it available through the rest of the
same file. As I mentioned before about this library, I'm writing it as
a learning experience :-)

Thanks,
Ken

object MyImplicits {
implicit def stringToLit(s:String) = Lit(s)
}

import MyImplicits._;

Thanks! I'd tried several similar things, but hadn't hit on the magic
combo--I was doing import rex. ..., forgetting about import nesting.

Cheers,
Ken
