Thanks! That is what I think about all the shell PATH like name
resolution rules.

However, practically, there must be cases where two toolboxes use the
same file/function name, in which case, something has to be done
besides renaming. (BTW, does matlab or octave native toolboxs have any
name conflicts?) Do you have some examples (i.e., with some working
code) on how this is solved given the limitations of the current name
resolution rule? Thanks!
