How do you deal with model name conflicts

BTW, I also discovered some Rhodes restrictions on model names, most of which I was previously aware of. One though surprised me! It should be better documented.

It appears a model directory must start with exactly one single capital letter. I made the unfortunate choice of calling a model HTMLContent. I had to change it to HtmlContent.

It is I guess a side-effect of mixing models directories and other directories under "app". The first-letter capitalization appears to be how Rhodes knows that a directory contains a model.

It would have been better to both put models under some directory of their own and as well to namespace them. They might be included automatically as well as they are now.

So, if you had a problematic model name, you could always refer to e.g. Model::Module or Model::Class.

I didn't want to use a prefix and make the code ugly. It is the Ruby way to favor pretty code over absolutely safe conventions. That's why you see 'klass' in lots of Ruby code. And why new Ruby programmers get tripped-up over this the first time they try to call something "class". I should have known better!
