Yes, but most times when there is conflict it will be between two sets of 
code. So importing someone else's namespace explicitly and giving it a new 
name is a good call IMHO.

Greg, you have questions outstanding on-list (mostly from Stas). Please 
respond to them?

nb Stas - I asked the same question about warnings, Greg updated his 
proposal since then to answer it.
