Naming conventions are a workaround in the same way that "remember to free your pointers" is a workaround for the lack of memory management in C, except that managing your own names has no performance benefit. I really think the whole idea of a global name-based registry is flawed. Again, look at more traditional library/class-based language like Java, C#, and C++ - they have to go to absurd levels of verbosity, and don't even get absolutely guaranteed uniqueness out of it, but the power of dynamic linking makes it worthwhile.
