What do people think of this idea? Personally, it really annoys me whenever I'm forced to give explicit module qualifications, and I think this would really help. It would also subsume the DisambiguateRecordFields extension rather handily.
A disadvantage - and this is not a "No" vote, just a remark - is that when trying to debug the expression: foo bar baz quux if I type ":t bar" I will presumably get an ambiguity error, and I may have no easy way of working out *which* bar was actually intended in this line of code. I don't know how much of a burden this is, but it feels like a burden to writing/debugging/understanding code. Jules
