Well, yes, and there is an easy way to fix this: Deprecate id lookup
across file scope. id lookup is actually the same as context property
lookup right now. That's what you're seeing there. We cannot get rid of
IDs, obviously, but we can restrict their use to the file context and
not search the whole context hierarchy.
