This keeps popping up, when I try to redefine the same macro or function in a module? Is this ok?

It tells me that I have overwritten a method, which I did intentionally…

Thanks

Yeah. When you override some method from other packages or someone else’s package this error pups up. I haven’t found any way to suppress it.

It’s okay, as long as you are fine with precompilation being broken for the package. I’d recommend against.
