Is this really a problem the language neededs to support. You
mentioned that this problem can be solved by convention. Also why is
this not concidered a problem in C or other programming langs that
support libraries? If it is a concidered a problem in other langs,
what mechnism do these langs use to solve the problem. 

Thanks Andy
