I am not sure I understand Scott's last comments, but I first want to correct something from my last entry.
Sorry about the last entry: 2) "using" seems to pull names/symbols into the global namespace/scope (Main?) instead of the local one (whichever module the code resides). 3) Module developers "export" functions that cannot be resolved by multiple dispatch. Statement 2 is wrong (I have not thought of this in a while). I would like to re-state it: 2) "using" seems to apply at the module-level. I think dealing with name collision would be much easier if "using" applied to arbitrary scopes. Also, I should point out that I only know how to deal with item 3 through good programming practices, again, as outlined in: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/julia-users/O8IpPdYBkLw/XzpFj9qiGzUJ Again, my apologies.
