  Hi Nim guys,

  I'm new to Nim, so please excuse if this is an obvious/daft question: is there a way to get module exports prefixed by the module name?

  Like this:

  import mymod1, mymod2

  mymod1.someproc()

  mymod2.someproc()

  As I understand it, this would cause a naming collision. Is this true, and can it be avoided?

  Your code works exactly as you wrote it. You can use all exported symbols from mymod1 and mymod2 without the module prefix as well as with it. If there is an ambiguity because both procs match, you need to specify the module. If you don't want the symbols in your namespace, but only accessible through their module name you can use from mymod1 import nil.

  Great, thanks, def.

  Makes sense - just different from what I'm used to!

  :-D
