I must admit I rarely have this concern. My own module globals are
almost entirely CONSTANT type names. (Excluding function and class
names.) 

What's the common ambifuity case for you?

Generally, these things are dreadful, but I saw a clip the other night on tv
of someone who had built a scorpion costume for their spaniel, complete with
legs and a stinger.  It was quite impressive.  Made me want to run out and
buy a dog and a some foam rubber.       - David Farley
