I can suggest several different ways that a multiplicity of "objects"
having identical identifiers could be disambiguated. But, is there
**value** in supporting multiple distinct objects having identical
identifiers in a single namespace? Is there ever a case where the
hassle of disambiguating is outweighed by some perceived added value?
Actually, we've decided that duplicity of names is only a problem due
to design decisions in *legacy* systems. And, that supporting
name collisions is actually a feature that can be exploited in
more modern architectures! (in addition to being more intuitive)
