top-level functions in a package
I am just starting to learn Scala. It doesn't seem to let me put top-level functions (i.e., regular functions that are not methods of a class) in a package. Am I missing something? I can't find anything about it in the Odersky book. Thanks.

Right. It inherits this from Java — there are no bare functions, only
methods of classes.
If you need a standalone function, use the 'object' keyword to declare
a singleton object and make it a method of that.

Re: top-level functions in a package
object Foo {
def f(x:Int) = ...
}
Is that f is a top level function in the Foo module.
