The problem is that instead of using the fully qualified name, which is
guaranteed not to conflict with anything else, "it" chooses a simplified
one - just the basename.
Having to put a "module" statement in every module shouldn't be necessary
- flattening the namespace only saves you a few keystrokes in the rare
case when you need to explicitly access that module (because of conflicting
symbols).
