Now you don't get notified of terminology conflicts?
One of the things about the global namespace is that conflicts occur visually, with the user typing one term and it compiling into another term. This causes people to go "Hey!" and is how we've dealt with terminology conflicts through AppleScript's dark ages.
I just wonder how much this would help compared to all the extra typing?
The global namespace, like unprotected memory, has fun as well as bite.
