Mandatory module name in the generated struct names about ygot HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @hellt, the code for creating the name is at https://github.com/openconfig/ygot/blob/master/gogen/goelements.go#L239

To change it you can add a new generation option and flag that would exclude the module name in the generated name.

I believe the reason it was originally included is because multiple modules can conflict. But if there is no reason to expect a conflict of top-level nodes in your YANG modules, then this would make sense. This was the decision for "compressed" generated code, so you can borrow the logic used there:

Wen is right here -- in goyang we build a tree per-module by creating a top-level entity named after the module's name -- the issue otherwise is that if you have ietf-interfaces and openconfig-interfaces on the same build then they would conflict.

Thank you,
I will have a look at adding a generator option to cater for smaller YANG code bases where non interfering top level containers are the norm.

In the meantime I will close the issue, as the questions has been answered.
