Be careful here.  The above won't result in any conflicts, but related 
cases, where you have two classes with the same name in different 
modules, may still result in conflicts.  See my previous posts on this:

However, I tend not to use double-underscore name mangling, and I don't 
think I've ever had a shadowing problem, so clearly I wouldn't have 
shadowing problems with double-underscore name mangling either...
