Alas, this is a bane of 3rd-party Elisp code. That vanilla Emacs might suffer
now and then from a convention it promulgates is, well, just desserts. ;-)
Instead of allowing Emacs to flout its own guidelines, we should put in place a
real module/package/namespace system - e.g., using qualified names, where
qualifiers are separate from the names they qualify (so they can be changed
later).
Common Lisp offers one (good) approach.
