Non-visible spliceFunction in Modelica/Fluid/Pipes.mo

There's a call to spliceFunction in Modelica.Fluid.Pipes.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.LocalPipeFlowHeatTransfer, and this function does not appear to be visible in that context.

That is true, and still the case in 3.2. There is a built-in such function in Dymola, which is why this is not noticed. I have fixed a number of occurences of this. A Modelica version of the function is in Modelica.Media.Air.MoistAir.spliceFunction, which is a pretty bad place if it is used at several places in Modelica.Fluid. Anyways, the function call should be to Modelica.Media.Air.MoistAir.spliceFunction().

As a short-term fix for 3.2 and the following 3.x versions I would suggest simply changing the call.

For a long-term solution (i.e., when conversion scripts are available) we should move spliceFunction() and spliceFunction_der() somewhere suitable under Modelica.Math (and add some proper documentation to it ;-)).

This was already fixed in 82f8c79 (see ticket #488). Also for now I don't see the need to generalise that function as it is (so far) only used once in Fluid and else within Media.
