In addition, If possible, I would like this to work even if the package was loaded from a notebook that had something other than the Global` context. Here is a sample package and exported rule: BeginPackage["PackageContext`"]; Rule1::usage = "Rule1 is a test exported rule."; Begin["`Private`"]; Rule1 = Cos[x_]^2 + Sin[x_]^2 -> 1; End[]; EndPackage[]; Then, if we evaluate Rule1 we obtain a very clumsy version of the rule, although I suppose it will work. Rule1 Cos[PackageContext`Private`x_]^2 + Sin[PackageContext`Private`x_]^2 -> 1 What I would like is the rule as written in the package. Is there a way to do this?
