Sure, but "different folders" is not always a robust solution - if the include path is such that the compiler can/will search both folders, you still can get collisions, or weird behaviour where it depends what order the include folders are searched and so on... Which can be quite confusing to debug at times!
So, I’m a big fan of keeping the names unique, basically (you may have spotted that...)

TBH I use the web interface a fair bit, and it usually seems to work...
If you go to the end of an existing line and hit enter a few times, you get an “unquoted” line to add your own text; well, that’s what works for me at any rate.

That said, I’m also subscribed to the mailing list and so many replies (including this reply) are just via a regular email client (Apple Mail in this instance...)
