Complicated? Well the issue of global collision is complicatd, and my
perception is that you need several separate techniques to deal with
different situations. This involves defining more keywords or
constructs, since they are more specialised.=20

Pete: I'll have to study your solution more thoroughly, but what I have
seen looked half baked to me, ie creating some confusion of its own and
leaving some parts of the problem unresolved.

Chris: this could be one of the few issues where concurrent versions may
coexist for a while, with the user base either choosing one or pushing
for a merger. More efort, but the end result could be a far easier to
use language.
