Yes, it's inherent to the idea of letting people use shorter names for
"local" entities, I think. So you're basically arguing against providing
any kind of namespace/module/package support.
Obviously, the status quo has the advantage that it works with current
tools (including grep), whereas any change would break some of
those uses.
