[cfe-dev] About Entity

[Zhongxing Xu]

Hi Argiris,

I have an idea to let the Entity reflect the linkage of a name. If a
name has external linkage, we make it an 'external' Entity. If a name
has internal linkage, we make it an 'internal' Entity. If a name has
no linkage, we make it an invalid Entity. What do you think?
