True, but using this sintaxe I can use an alias to the third-party units so, I can use my own names to reference identifiers that I can not change. The collision still can exists? Yes, but in that case the programmer would be wrong, not third-party unit names or because the compiler not helped. The third-party could use a better and bigger name like "XyzNetSocket" but I could use just "net" (uses XyzNetSocket as net), for example. IMHO this is more sophisticated than pure namespace.
