Probably a good idea.

I was just reading through the ImageMagick API docs though, and man
does it have the Most Gratuitously Awful Naming Scheme Ever --
practically every function/type name is _absurdly_ generic (e.g.,
"ReadStream", "ExceptionInfo", "GetGeometry", ...), and seem almost
intended to cause conflicts with user programs (or other libraries
with poorly named functions).  [this is in C, remember, no namespaces]

Gahhh.. this is the GNU standard image library?!

p.s., of course I'm ignoring the cutesy names, which are merely
silly, not an actual hazard...
