Ok. That is not a problem anymore when you use namespaces. In addition, we may
have other changes in 4.0 that solve your issue totally, even w/o namespaces.
i.e. global propagation of globals not being the case. But the later is just
under very, very, very initial discussion. Once we have an idea of the impact,
some possible solutions, we will undoubtedly bring it up on EUforum for
discussion.

However, your given example above is still invalid if you use namespaces as
currently defined in 4.0, and for the most part 3.1 as well.
