name collisions

Back in the good ole days when asic design teams
were small and we designed everything ourselves it
was easy to manage name space collisions.

Now we are incorporating more and more blocks
of 3rd party IP into our chips and we really
have no way to prevent multiple vendors from
creating sub modules using the same name.

Verilog have some use library commands that would
allow us to force modules to only draw from their
own local files but I am trying to figure out how
to add the same functionality to synopsys.

Anybody have a good solution?
