-====== Modular Programming ======
-<note>
-This Tutorial is still under heavy construction!
-</note>
-In this tutorial chapter, we introduce AmbientTalk's language features that have to do with writing //modular// programs. The term "modular" can be taken quite broadly in this context. By "modular" programming, we here mean programs hierarchically structured into multiple files and objects composed from multiple so-called "trait" objects. We also describe AmbientTalk's lightweight support for classifying objects and how this enables exception handling based on "types".
-===== Namespaces and the lobby =====
-explain: lobby object, %%~%% object, files as objects, namespace objects and hierarchical structuring of files, uniform access files/objects
-===== Importing objects =====
-explain: import native, using import for importing external file definitions. Warning: importing from namespaces
-===== Objects as traits =====
-explain: using import as an object-composition mechanism: concepts behind traits (required/provided interface), aliasing, exclusion.
-===== Classifying objects using stripes =====
-explain: what are stripes? what kind of objects are they, stripe subtyping, stripe test, what default stripes exist
-===== Exception Handling =====
-explain: raise, try-catch and variants, first-class handlers, role of stripes, interface of an exception object
