Once again. I do not want classes/function from ORM lib to clutter my global
namespace everywhere. I just want everything from it to be available in
couple of files (where lots of SQL/mapping) is going to be used. In those few
files I'll be able to keep control of names and avoid conflicts.
Sure, I can prefix all the names or insert a bunch of imports, although it'll
just be ugly.
And about "not using namespaces" - there are such things as code libraries.
Those will probalby be namespaced - so I'll be using namespaces even in small
scripts - just because I'll be using those libs.
If using a bunch of imports is the only way that is accepted - then at least a
shortcut like python's "from x import a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h" would be a nice.
