You can't. Euphoria's namespace concept does not help us in this situation.

I would reason that because win32lib does NOT include win_misc.ew, either
explicitly or implicitly, that the 'or_all' that win32lib is referring to is
the one in tk_maths.e, which win32lib DOES include. Why Euphoria thinks that
win32lib might be trying to refer to a version of a routine that it had no
knowledge of is weird.

What I need to do is to put namespace qualifiers on every routine that
win32lib references. There must be only a few thousand of those....
