Packages have some advantages (use of names without prefixes and easier
contribution) but maybe they are less safe  (it looks like global
variable from imported package overrides variable used but not declared
as local in users program.) although I never actually tried it. Any
case, if packages are prefered solution for this problem, they should be
stil named like "MM88", "MM89"; if they are named "graphics" or
"numeric" problem is only elevated from procedures/variables to packages
level.
