That still doesn't mean that Foo::Bar::Baz-style names don't give us
some benefits. For example, Date::Convert::FrenchRevolution tells us
that the module is for converting dates to and from whatever madness
the French revolutionaries used. Calling it simply Date::FrenchRevolution
would remove that useful information, and we wouldn't know whether it
was for doing conversions to and from that calendar, whether it was for
doing calculations in that calendar, or what.
