It wouldn't have to.  No matter how the mechanism works, it can be resolved 
at compile time to point to the actual location of the class, so slightly 
slower compile but that's it.  I can't think of any reason to do such 
lookups dynamically.

Well if you see them as Name or Class spaces then I think convention would 
indicate they should be upper case.
