C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre. Two Very Bad Things:
* The restriction increases the context sensitivity of the language. * The restriction increases the number of incompatibilities with Delphi and therefore increases the difficulty of porting existing programs. The restriction could be subject to a configurable option (perhaps it is already) but, without a configurable option, the restriction should be omitted. If the language is changed to suit the whims of the developers, it might end up as a fine language, but one with no customers. Reductio ad absurdum: no identifier may have more than one declaration in a single program because the programmer may get confused as to which thing is being referenced.
