OK, that makes sense. 

Correct me if I am wrong: modules (except built-ins) don't really have 
names, one just imports them specifying a variable with which they can be 
referred to. So if I import the "String" module  from mogule 
(x-ozlib://duchier/lib/String.ozf) I have to use a name other than 
"String" if I want to use the built-in "String" module as well?

Thanks for your help.
