That's not possible, because it depends on the currently attached packages,
and even on the order of their attachment.

Also not possible in practice, because it would need to check too many
packages. But it would not be a good solution in my opinion, anyway,
because you probably don't want people having to deal with these issues. I
surely don't. For the developer of a single package, it should be
completely irrelevant how many other packages use the same function names.
