It seems worse with namespaces:

1. a linear namespace
2. a sub namespace for linear.stable
3. a function definition for linear.stable.foo
4. a stable namespace
5. a sub namespace for stable.linear
6. an alias (I'm assuming you're not repeating the function definition 
here) for stable.linear.foo to linear.stable.foo

Perhaps my strawman isn't what you were thinking, let me know. It 
appears to me that you will need more machinery for namespaces.
