FWIW, when I saw this thread, what I imagined was something like
(put 'foo--check-baz 'warn-if-used-outside '("foo-")) underneath,
probably with a function for applying that to a lot of symbols at
once. But the lack of a real package system could make that slow
if nothing else---AFAIK obarrays don't do any prefix indexing,
since they're described as hash tables?
