Abstract

Systems and methods are provided with respect to computer programming. Program behavior can be tuned to provide a seamless mixture of semantic behavior across a single program language syntax. Semantic behavior can be explicitly specified at arbitrary levels of syntactic granularity (e.g. expressions, members, types, compilation units . . . ), wherein semantic scope is commensurate with the specified level of granularity.
