The difference between us is that I am less inclined to be prescriptive
about such matters than you are. I think that as namespace use expands
we should also probably provide better support for adding things to the
search path (or indeed taking things away). If you don't want to use it
then don't, but I don't see why you are so insistent on denying such
facilities to others.
