I think that collision risk is the main issue, indeed, when you mix and match various libraries (particularly those with the proverbial kitchen sink! ;-)). Java people resolved it with the package names using domain names as base, a bit convoluted, but at least minimizing the risks.Other than that, you could easily have collisions with other libraries which also inject similar functions. In this respect using a module name such as 'stringx' is just as bad, since other people are likely to use it too.
