I know this is part of language... but problems can happen eg:
You can add a new unit, maybe a 3rd-party, called A3rdFunc.pas that
have the same function (GetHandler) what you already use in another
unit called MyFunc.pas.
Someday you will add the A3rdFunc unit on 'uses' -- AFTER the MyFunc
-- and now your program can be broken.
