Objection, judge! :) Some of the uppercase objects in Cyclone are there so the don't clash with builtins. Line~ is different from line~.
and has been lengthily discussed on this list: aliasing will eventually override already existing classes (including internals). so you get cyclone's [Line~] when you really want [line~].
Oops, I forgot to add in my last email, I think that the 0.42 overriding causes lots of problems, and I don't see much benefit, I think there was pretty broad agreement on that. We should instead finalize the design of a library format and means for supporting load order that is saved with the patch. Then we'll solve all of these problems. I think my opinion on how to do this is well known, but I'd like to hear other ideas that take into account the whole problem, and move beyond "this is what we have, deal with it".
