I would like to know as well as I enjoy working with them.
Simplifies naming greatly when one isn't afraid of naming collisions.
Moreover, I suspect that people that do encounter collisions, will use a
prefix/suffix to deal with it, in a similar way to prefixing package name
with '.'.

Erlang would benefit greatly from a stable and officially supported
namespace/package system for modules. IMO, I've been quite happy with the
current state of things with package prefix.
