This is a really good point. It reminds me of a quote I always
have to think about:
Intertwingularity is not generally acknowledged -- people
keep pretending they can make things deeply hierarchical,
categorizable and sequential when they can't. Everything is
deeply intertwingled.
-- Ted Nelson
Unfortunately, while it is possible in Perl5 to write code such
that it works under multiple package names (or better yet, would
work in any package regardless of the name), it is a not
trivially supported scenario. It might be a good idea to think
about these issues before Perl6 starts taking shape.
