When namespaces correspond to unit names, i.e. disk files, a
disambiguation is always possible by adding the parent directory to the
unit name. This is not implemented, because there never existed an
urgent need for such an extension, but it would always end up in unique
references, because file systems disallow for duplicate file names
within a folder. Not so for namespaces...

That idea has a little problem: In Pascal ABC and abc are the same identifiers while on most Linux filesystems ABC and abc are two different "identifiers".

Right, this problem had to be handled already. Wirth also made successors of Pascal case-sensitive, but is this something we really want?
