I agree.
But I agree too the search path has advantages... because that I
mentioned keep the both (today, it is, right?).
And, in addition, I sugest to implement a new syntax for units of the
same name using "IN" and "AS" as bellow:
uses
zip IN '/units/my/zip.pas' AS myzip;
zip IN '/units/lib/zip/zip.pas' AS ziplib;
...someone liked the idea? :(
