Re: Splitting the object and type name spaces? (Was: Types, packages & objects : the good old naming conventions question (without religious ware))

and the syntax will turns into ambiguous constructs, because there are
place where this would not be possible to know if an identifier is to
be a type or an object/function.

B := A (Index) -- View conversion or array or function ?

To make the distinction between array and function is easy (the array
may be seen as a kind of function) : both cannot have the same name,
so it is what has this name. If A is declared as an array, this is an
array, if A is declared as a function, this is a function.

But if A can be a function/array name and a type name in the same
time, there is a trouble.

This may be the danger you are looking for : the whole language syntax
will need to be reworked (forget about all backward compatibility).
