Right, if RPG had qualified procedures.  I was saying that the kind of
namespace collisions you want to avoid with qualified procedures would be
noticed before the compiler reaches the binding step.  These collisions
begin at the source compile step because the definitions are different.
People were saying that not having qualified procedures creates a problem
at the binding step.  I was saying that the problem occurs sooner.
