Subject: New OBV "supports" keyword conflicts with CosLifeCycle

The new OBV keyword "supports" collides with the operation "supports"
defined in CosLifeCycle::GenericFactory.

Proposal:

Escape the supports delcaration using the new escaped identifiers
synatx.

Change the definition in Figure 6-9 on page 6-11 of CORBAservices
from:

interface GenericFactory {
	boolean supports(in Key k);
	...
};

to:

interface GenericFactory {
	boolean _supports(in Key k);
	...
};

Except that legal IDL identifiers cannot begin with "-".

I presume you meant "_".  In "the new escaped identifiers syn[ta]x" to
which
George referred, any identifier can be prefixed with an underscore,
and it
means the identifier doesn't include the underscore --- it's just
there to
resolve grammatical ambiguities between keywords and identifiers that
would
otherwise be written the same way.
