No, ethe prefix option is optional pollution. As Tino pointed out,
that is as much or as little of a problem as you want it to be.

Adding underscore in addition to hyphen separated names is forced
pollution. As Tino pointed out, the hyphen-separated part of the
namespace enjoys less protection that I had been assuming, so the
magnitude of the problem is less, but definitely non-zero
