As in plain Java, if you have a local variable of the same name as a class
you imported, the local variable takes precedence. You can always access
the class by the full class name: ij.IJ.log("Hello, Albert");

I am open to suggestions what might be a better name for the current
ImageJ context (I considered "context", "this", "ImageJ", which all clash
with existing entities even worse than "IJ"). It is still early enough to
change things without much of a hassle.

Ciao,
