It looks like a hard part is going to be method scoping. For things that aren't in the global namespace, it's sort of hard to give a single answer, because you are asking two questions (e.g., which object or module and which method or function?). It might be better to pick the object/module first, and then the method/function.

I felt like it was probably always method/function name that you would care about. That was mostly based on the assumption that similarly named methods on any object do similar things, at least in the language's standard libraries.

Did you have a specific language/module/class/method (or set of them) in mind?
