I thought that part of brian's domain stuff in Savior was to cover this. 
  In either case no one should be writing any real code at this point 
since no one has agreed on any sane way to pull this off.  There needs 
to be plenty of healthy discussion the pro's and con's of how things 
should be done in regards to *-prefix.

In conclusion, if you think this will be 'easy', think again ;)

PS.  However starting discussion on how exactly this would work might be 
a nice thing to do ;)
