So, if we can to put an alias to unit names, there are no more problem. I had this problem in real projects. Always happen with the units that have very short names or names that are very generic. Therefore, most of the frameworks put a prefix in the units. BTW, I use "my" prefix for units of project (e.g. myparser, mytextutils, mydb, etc). If I create a lib, I choose other prefix.
