Is there an existing solution where different library objects have identical ShortNames?
If not could the IDE detect where there are duplicate object names and allow the use of the fully qualified name for each object instead of it's ShortName?
I'm thinking that this will become more of a problem as times goes by and if a solution is found now it will save lots of time in the future.
Sure we can create libraries objects with a unique prefix added to each ShortName to anticipate a problem, but my suggestion would i think be more flexible.
It wouldn't require the library writer to decide 'is this object name likely to have already been used or is this object name likely to be used in the future by another library writer?'.
In fact to answer the question 'is this object name already being used?' is itself a tricky one to answer unless you have time to download and inspect all currently available libraries.
Any comments?
