Subject: category regression
Message-ID: <20080528175547-0700@axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org>

hat is a regression, because the rest of the compiler and interpreter
assumes that Category is conceptually a category -- even when it has a
domain implementation.

The file algebra/domain.spad.pamphlet contains this definition: 

  )abbrev domain CATEGORY Category
  ++ Author: Gabriel Dos Reis
  ++ Date Create: February 16, 2008.
  ++ Date Last Updated: February 16, 2008.
  ++ Basic Operations: coerce
  ...

but OpenAxiom? does not always treat Category this way: 

axiom
)show Category
 Category  is a domain constructor
 Abbreviation for Category is CATEGORY 
 This constructor is not exposed in this frame.
