[Caml-list] Best practices for avoiding global module name clashes?

Many projects include modules named "Prelude" "Monad" etc etc.

What is the current best practice to avoid clashes? Prefix with some short
string related to the library name? I don't really want to use packing.

Thanks

Well, this is one option for building libraries without packs and
without clashes (not to mention building things fast):

(See the manual under the "library" stanza, for example.  Module
aliases and various renamings are used to avoid packs.)
