Still not sure how much of an issue that is, provided the display names are 
only for display and not used to actually locate/update identifier values.  
E.g. if a user sees 2 “User Name” fields in a UI, I think we’re still able to 
fall back on the broxygen documentation comments to provide more context to the 
user.  Or if theres standardized/automatic conventions for these display names 
that are based on modules/namespacing, I’m not sure how often you’d even see 
such conflicts, or ’d expect they’d get patched out pretty rapidly by the 
community when they pop up.
