=============
I would like to export rules from a package in such a way that the pattern
symbols did not include any contexts and in which I also did not have to
export the symbols used in the pattern. 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?
