[isabelle-dev] Binding with implicit rename

we *have* already the concept of binding prefices (what you refer to
here as hierarchical naming), although the theory name part of the
prefix currently is always a singleton.  What I have to address is that
you cannot be sure that a given name is already used, regardless how
many prefices you add.

Cheers,
