I start to see the issue.
If two libraries are using a symbol to communicate something shouldn't
the definition of this something be imported by both?
Say faces are defined in the 'face' Lexspace, the two libraries should
probably derive from it if they want to communicate using this
definitions.
There are maybe cases where the 'resolve-designator' operator you have
suggested would be necessary but I don't know how common would be that
case.
Andrea
PS I think practically faces would be in the fundamental Lexspace where
every other is derived from.
