Working with items of the same name, from different locations (units,

Waste of characters? Not really. Write xyz.TFoo is not so different of
TxyzFoo. There is one char more.
How I will know all prefixes of all libs in the internet? If I choose
the prefix "rx", I will have conflicts with RXlib, for example.
Graeme chose the same prefix the Lazarus did in some classes:
TfpgXXXX ("fpg")
Ideas about namespaces have ben collected before....
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Namespaces
But in the end, iirc none of them solves the problem. They just move the
problem to the next level.
And speaking of namespace, keep in mind, that projects are shared too,
if projects refer to namespaces, then those namespace must equal on
every single computer.
So if rxlib would take the namespace "rx" (on top of units), and someone
else did also take that namespace, then you have the same problem....
