[EMBOSS] interference between databank and file names

Dear colleagues,
Today one of our users bumped on a problem. It is an old one, because it
existed with GCG also. When you put a sequence in a file that happens to
have the same name as an existing databank (from emboss.defaults), e.g.
"sw", and you ask a program to operate on "sw" it will not take the
sequence from the file but (depending on whether it's a sequence or a
seqall) on the first or all sequences from SwissProt. What do you think
about this ? Should the EMBOSS library routine that fetches the sequences
look first in files and only then in databanks instead of the opposite, or
give a warning message when there is a file/databank name interference ?
Sincerely,
Guy Bottu
