Right. But when we use 3rd packages, we don't control which names they
will use to name their units.
Moreover, I believe each package should work only in a bounded
context. Its developers should not named their files considering that
these names could be used in a bigger context. Don't you agree?

IMHO, would be better if packages may have just some "exported units".
What do you think?
