I would claim exactly the opposite.
That's because you already get scoping on names, for free, when you use
objects. The method and field names. Of course, for static methods and
fields you'll need to reference the class name again ... so don't do
that :-)
There would typically be a one time 'hit' in your code for a long,
prefixed named used as a constructor, or possibly a static method called
on a factory. After that, if you're dealing with object instances, then
instead of function names (which would need to also use a longish
prefix, because they are scoped globally), you can use plain old short
method names.
