--- Comment #3 from Berck Nash <berck.nash at wdc dot com> ---
I can see that someone might want to do this, but it certainly doesn't seem
like it should be default behavior. I think it's a bit absurd to expect an end
user to know the names of every function called by every library function. It
seems like, by default, a collision should be reported. Additionally, even if
this is a feature, there isn't even check to see if the functions have
compatible parameter lists, which can make for some disastrous mistakes...
