I admit that I use "settings" or "config" quite often, though they're meant to
be application specific instead of general library

I would have thought that is exactly what namespaces will be handy for! Or at

too.
Then the John Douglas and Douglas McKey are running into the same issue.
Both guys (while living on different parts of the world) created the same
"douglas" namespace!
Similar to using the same "M" prefix for classes unit.
What option do these three guys would have now? Elevate another the level of
name space?
john.douglas
macros.douglas
mckey.douglas
douglas.mckey?
Is it much different than just extending the prefix "M" to "MFP"?
thanks,

P.S. Offtopic: I personally find it horrible to call a unit "classes" (it's
fine for RTL, since it's started this way, but any other library - it is
horrible). Nobody calls their units like "functions" or "functionsandprodures"
(though I think I saw unit "funcs" one day), It is better to give more accurate
name of the unit functionality: StrLists, UnicodeUtils, FileUtls, DateUtils.
