I mean that the automatic qualification would only be done for scripts. If a script says get_script_args("user") then it would accept either "user" or "script-name.user". Libraries would have to do their own qualification, so a library would say get_script_args("smb.user") and it would only recognize the one argument "smb.user". get_script_args would look for a dot and not add the full qualification if the dot is present. get_script_args("user") would match both "script-name.user" and "user", but get_script_args("script-name.user") would match only "script-name.user". (Not "script-name.script-name.user".) Libraries would specify their arguments this way to make sure they use exactly the qualification they expect. David Fifield
Ah, I get it! That works for me. I'm assuming we'll end up having some convention (like "smb.") for groups of libraries, but it makes sense to do that manually. People writing libraries should hopefully be more careful than people writing scripts.
