This is pretty much what Common Lisp does.

I was very confused coming from Scheme, which has a single namespace, to 
CL and found that symbols with the same printName gave different values.

Another trick is to use an illegal name to prefix (perhaps hidden).  
E.g. 'foo#asString' vs 'bar#asString'.  This is what Gambit Scheme does.
