I tend to avoid declaring functions or variables in any namespace that I know 
other code is using. But you're doing it with your eyes open, and that's 
probably ok. Someday a server update may conflict. But if that happens, I'm 
sure you'll catch it in testing, and fix it before it breaks production.

Right?
