I know that some people prefer the Tie::* name-space. But why? Maybe
because it is such a nice feature in Perl.
>From my point of view, naming a module Tie::* just because it uses
a tie, is comparable to naming a variable $ref_to_array_of_values
where a $queue object is meant.
'Tie' gives the wrong kind of information: it tells about the use,
not the content of the package.
By the way, Object-oriented packages are also not all the
'Object' name-space. OO is also a nice feature of Perl.
Tie::Array, however, is a well chosen name, because that module is
used to support the tie-mechanism. Hash::Case::Lower is used to
support certain use of hashes.
