I know this is part of language... but problems can happen eg: You can add a new unit, maybe a 3rd-party, called A3rdFunc.pas that have the same function (GetHandler) what you already use in another unit called MyFunc.pas. Someday you will add the A3rdFunc unit on 'uses' -- AFTER the MyFunc -- and now your program can be broken.
