Comment (by srenskiy@…):
Most likely you will never want to have same name for non-proxy models.
Also it completely will brake Django models mechanism. That's why same
name only for proxy models which are (by Liskov Principe) interchangeable
in most cases. In other cases it's up to developer decide to use same
names for proxy models or not.
By "x" in x.A you mean module or app? Concrete models will never includes
module name (only proxy): proxy_model_module = is_proxy and module or
None. But you have point, in `register_models()` there are may be cases
with lost proxy models (when concrete model overrides record of first
occurred proxy model inheriting concrete one or another). I think this is
repairable and testable. I'l try to do it later on this week.
The need is simple: python supports it why Django not? It's more practical
to have `app_store.Receipt` and `google_play.Receipt` then
`app_store.AppStoreReceipt` and `google_play.GooglePlayReceipt`.
