Right. But developers can be considerate of others in how they
pollute the global namespace. That's the axe I was subtly
grinding ;-). In other words, if you are declaring global anything in
your plugin, prepend or append it with a short mnemonic that
identifies the source. Developers (especially plugin developers) who
claim that their naming collisions are REAL's fault for not have
namespaces are copping out and just causing problems for everyone
else. OK, axe ground, back to work.

Then there are times where using a namespace would be nice but it's
not possible to extend it with Rb code, so globals (or nasty hacks)
are your only alternatives: <http://www.realsoftware.com/feedback/
