Curious: how many people have actually been affected by how this works? I mean
in a way where the fix was not simple and where third-party code actually had to
be modified in order to work?

I know we've discussed it ad nauseum and I'm not about to argue for how things
should be. We all seem to have different ideas. I'm just interested in knowing
who has had problems related to namespacing/global pollution.

Matt: if this change gets included in the official distribution there should
also probably be a warning issued by the interpreter if possible.
