Programmers are not very imaginative in naming. It is plainly helpfull to be able to rename a file if another file with a different content.....
Just in the FPC compiler case many unit names are hard coded, while the files to use reside e.g. in a specific machine directory, selected in the search path. When it becomes desireable to replace only one of these files, as happened to me, then a solution could be to name that replacement file differently from its contained unit name.
Then it would be helpful to allow for exchangable file names, at least at project/program level. Only then one can be sure that a specific file is used across the entire project, regardless of all other files in the search path.
