Hey all. Computing history question. What's the earliest instance of PROVIDE and REQUIRE functionalities provided in languages today? Common Lisp uses *FEATURES* with PROVIDE and REQUIRE. Emacs Lisp the same. I am wondering if it comes any earlier, especially with Lisp implementations. Thanks, Robert P.S., if you can make this math related, you get my good graces.
