What worries me is that I've seen this sort of 'solution' to various
problems so often in the past. It's as if Rob is wearing some kind of
blinders which keep him from ever seeing anything in its entirety.
The potential problems involved with renaming files (especially 3rd.
party files) should be obvious to any reasonably experienced programmer.
Likewise, take a look at namespacing. After a huge amount of
discussion, we have a partial solution, but other languages have done
it better, and are worth copying. RDS either doesn't see the need, or
doesn't know how to implement it.
How often have we read words such as 'no one will need to ...' or
'hardly anyone would use ...' (fill in the blanks)?
Its not an uncommon reply to people who *were* needing to ...,
or who *would* use ... , if the functionality existed.
