Agreed - a shorter name would be better - but the alternative being discussed here is not a shorter name - it's this tradeoff: "Globalization" vs. "Object.System.loaded['@globalization']" That is, the alternative here is 3 times as long as the already 'unnecessarily long' option. As Brendan noted, we still need to do the API design on the system module loader to try to streamline this - but the design space currently being explored won't lead to this being shorter than "Globalization", so the length argument by itself would seem to favor a single global name. There was an earlier thread discussing alternatives to "Globalization", several of which are shorter and may be appropriate choices instead.
