The more interesting question is, does Euphoria know?

It doesn't seem to. After all, I can't ask if it knows the "zpar" routine,
what the parameter count and type are, or if it's a function or a procedure.
There's no reflection in Euphoria.

Once we have namespaces, Jiri and Dave would get around to rewriting their
libraries, and remove the global declarations. Then you would reference them
properly as:

   jiri.GLOBAL_IN_ONE
   dave.GLOBAL_IN_ONE

I suppose that Robert could design the namespace directive to ignore all
"global" declarations in a module, so you wouldn't have to rewrite any older
modules, but this is a bit of a hack.
