I'm not sure what situation you're imagining where modules
would be created with the same names...?
How do you plan to map C++'s standard lib ? One giant hundred
of thousands of line C++ file ?
Surely it would map by file.
#include <vector> -> import stl.vector;
#include <map> -> import stl.map;
#include <string> -> import stl.string;
Perhaps 'stl' may be something else, 'std' is an unfortunate
conflict with phobos, but this is unique to this case.
I believe deadalnix here meant something like this:
import stl.vector;
import mylib.vector;
Vector a; // Ambiguous: could be from mylib or stl
stl.Vector b; // Error: no such class stl.Vector
stl.vector.Vector c; // Works, but requires extra typing
Which with working namespaces might allow case b to work.
