I believe when "bradders" considers the complexity
introduced by package rename declarations, he will
quickly deduce that the effort needed to write code
to support the semantic information required to
determine equivalent references to the same object
through various renamed objects will be vastly greater
than the learning curve for ASIS which already
performs this feat, as well as many others,
automagically.
