It is not the first time that I have objections because the ARC happily
ignores possible future clashes without a "good reason". It is a bad idea to
burn names just for fun. If the lib is a private lib, then avoid name space
pollution. This is typically done by using statical linking. If you like to
create a dynamic library anyhow, do not use a generic name for a private
object.
An important difference between Solaris and Linux in former times was that
Solaris was planned in advance for a longer time. Do not give up this
advantage...unless you like to lose your paying customers.
