PS One could of course eat the cake and keep it still, at the
cost of additional complexity.
Distributed and prioritized:
alias this : a_prio1, a_prio2, a_prio3;
alias this : b_prio1, b_prio2;
any a* could clash with any b* but a:s wont clash with their own
kind since they are internally prioritised the same goes for b:s.
