Of course. Why would LOTTERY:DRAW and GRAPHICS:DRAW be smashed together?


but now you're back to (lottery:draw x) which isn't any shorter than (lottery-draw x), so the point about names not being namespaced to the object they are applied to remains.


If I have inherited both, I cannot use the symbol DRAW to refer to both; at most one of them can be just DRAW.
