Not easily. That's what inspired my patch the other day to allow two
plugins two register the same command, with the second being munged
into the full module path. I like Aaron's idea though, of always
registering the full module path and then asking the user to
disambiguate when there's a clash ... I guess I'd better find time to
code it up.
