I haven’t thought about this deeply at all, but could there be a level of indirection similar to what the file system does with inodes vs. paths? It would of course require IDE support to resolve the identifier names for display. I know there are some recent systems that use content addressing for code. Each function or piece of program data is identified by its hash only, so they can be modified without breaking dependencies (editing a function creates a new version). This is basically the same idea as my inode-like suggestion but with deeper ramifications due to immutability.
