Export refuses to export LX, with less than helpful message #639

Open mkromberg opened 6 months ago

  myns.⎕LX←'lx'
  ]link.export myns.⎕LX c:\tmp\myns

ERRORS ENCOUNTERED: ⎕SE.Link.Export: Not a properly named namespace: #.myns.⎕LX

It should be possible to explicitly export any system variable, even if it does not have namespace scope. Or at least improve the error message.

Not any, but we can allow workspace (not session!) scope sysvars with a warning and the condition that Import and Create refuse to bring in this folder into any other namespace than #.
