Well then I disagree with Walter on this as well. What's wrong 
with having a "standard" toolset in the same way you have 
standard libraries? It's unrealistic to think people (at large) 
will be writing any sort of serious application outside of a 
modern IDE. I'm not saying it's Walters job to write IDE 
integration, only that the language design shouldn't cater to the 
smaller use-case scenario.

Cleaner code is easier to read and, within an IDE with tooltips, 
makes little difference when looking at the hierarchy. If you 
want to be hard-core about it, no one is stopping you from 
explicitly qualifying each definition.
