## Aliases for packages

First paragraph look like very useful feature for **developers how like write functional code**.

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/kotlinlang/original/2X/9/98efc78470c4b6304c9263b1c97aedaef506b28c.png)  
For example, in big program clash on function signatures it’s very possible event.  
In Clojure it solved by namespaces, but in **Kotlin** we has nothing (see below).

## Alternatives:

- “Object/Component object” - restrice to hold all functions in one file and have bad syntax
- Hack with annotaion (see code) - even more strage syntax and not supports on JS/Native

```auto
@file:JvmName("Func")
fun's ....

//usage
typealias f = Func
f.fun1

```

## In my case it’s will be the best to write something like:

```auto
import org.app.domain as d
import org.app.presenter as p

fun main (args: Array<String>) {
    d.func1()
    d.func2()
    p.func1()
    p.func2()
}

```

## Maybe someone create proposal for KEEP?
