Naming things is hard. Sometimes, the same name gets used for different things. In Dart, naming conflicts can be mitigated through the use of import prefixes, as well as show and hide operations.
This is particularly important when using a package like fpdart that provides a lot of classes with common names.
As an example, suppose you decide to use fpdart with your Flutter program. You'll quickly discover that fpdart uses State as a class name, which conflicts with the State class in Flutter.
The solution is to create an import shim that solves both of these problems. We'll call it functional.dart. This shim will import fpdart, and re-export the classes we want to use. We can rename fpdart's State to FpState to avoid the conflict. We can then import functional.dart instead of fpdart.
functional.dart can also hold any other functional programming utilities we want to use. It can also be used to provide or import class extensions and mapping functions between our types and the functional types.
