Fine, so I give up.  No namespaces.  Fine.  So everybody's mind is made 
up. So much for that debate.

But it sure seems like encouraging "libraryname_objectname" aliases as 
in maxlib would go a long way to avoiding
and providing a user-side method to resolve nameclashes, and allowing 
simultaneous (within the same patch or abstraction) usage of objects 
with identical root objectnames.  Without "changing a line of code", by 
the way.

"one word - one object" - feh.  Try that in a dictionary and see how far 
you get.
As in real estate, context, context, context.
