Good point I guess. Yes, let's get right out of the mpn namespace business. flint_mpn_blah seems to be the best solution. It's a bit of work to fix this, and I am not proposing I do it any day soon, but I'll make a note that it needs to be done and we'll work towards it, perhaps even before finalising the next flint release.
