<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">> My more fresh example is: <br>
I have, for years, many units that have the prefix 'M'. So I have <br>
MClasses, MCore, MTasks, MSystem, etc. <br>
Now MSEgui (by Martin Schreiber) introduced a mclasses unit -- your <br>
own implementation of classes unit -- and I can not use both units in <br>
the same project. :( <br>
<br>
Namespace does NOT solve the problem. If MSE units uses M.<unit> for their units and you have yours the same as well, you'll end up renaming either anyway.<br>

</div></div>Yes and how I still use D7 at work I still have this problem.
<br/>This problem happen not only for unit names but component names too. I
<br/>can not register two components with the same name.
<br/>So, because that, programmers around the world use prefix in class
<br/>names. If the components were registered using 'unit+class_name' and
<br/>when we drop a component on the Form the IDE write the unit name as a
<br/>prefix, this problem not will happen.
