   A question about this. Is there a name conflict issue when using software
   supplied by different sources? eg. You purchase a set of gui widgets from
   one vendor and a set of i/o utilities from another, and put them both in
   one program. Are there mechanisms the library vendors can use avoid name
   conflicts? If not, can such name conflicts be resolved by the programmer
   using the two libraries? I'm mostly thinking about this from the point of
   view of having a healthy marketplace for the independent development of
   Dylan tools. 

This problem exists in C/C++ but it doesn't seem to have affected the
health of the marketplace.  So I suspect it's really a pretty minor
issue in commercial practice.
