I don't think that's true, at least not as I understand the proposal.  
The context is bidirectional: yes, you can change the context of the 
browser so that the same string will resolve to a different class.  
However, that browser will automatically update all the source it 
displays so that it's consistent with the new context: it never shows 
the original string that was typed in, but a string that will resolve 
to the same fully qualified name in the current context.  So I don't 
see where the divergence comes in.
