I think you can't fix it with global namespace. That's why I switched 
to 2-level namespaces when they became available. But for 2.2.X this 
isn't possible: some people depend on the single namespace (there are 
people who create two external modules where one module will use 
external symbols from the other module (which should then, of course, 
be imported first). And as the 2.2.X releases should be 100% backward 
compatible it isn't an option to use 2-level namespaces there.
