[AccessD] duplicate function names

That's one reason you usually give the routines in a code library unique
names.  You can also have routines with the same names in both local and
public modules.  The one within scope is always the one executed.

Maybe everyone but me knows this, but I just stumbled upon the fact that
it is possible to have two functions with the same name coexist. If one
is in a module in the current database and the other in a module in a
referenced code library Access will use the function in the current
database and ignore the version in the code library. Everything compiles
and runs fine at least in access 2000. Whether or not this is useful or
merely dangerous is a different question.
