I'm with ya on that... :-)

Yup!

It could be that the "save the name" notion comes from not knowing the name
resolution rules that provide the ability to qualify the type and object
names in constructs where they collide.  Or maybe someone knows how to do
it, but they just don't like to -- I guess it boils down to which way a
person thinks is uglier :-).  I prefer to name things naturally and then
qualify where necessary.
