forbid it

You should consider this enhancement.
Comment 1 Stephan Herrmann CLA 2018-04-21 15:20:09 EDT 
Identical simple names (i.e., disregarding the package) is a perfectly valid use case (many simple names used in the JRE are just too good as class names to be forbidden).

Identical qualified names result in errors starting with Java 9 anyway.

Ergo, I don't see how forbidding those names should be an enhancement.
Do you have any convincing reasons that I may have missed?
