The other option is the one java took: use reversed domain name
hierarchies to ensure that there are no conflicts.  No one but sun
can make a com.sun.java.swing module, given you instant self-organizing
uniqueness.  If you own the domain, you own the namespace under
that domain.  Pro: simple; con: verbose.
