Oops! (04)
Sorry about that... I was bringing my own context to the table &
ignoring yours. I was focused on the "external" names. (05)
For internal names/identifiers I strongly favor meaningless numbers/
strings that humans will not attempt to read meaning in to. (06)
Hence one could have: Term X, context A = meaning A, context B =
meaning B, etc. (07)
