Fortunately, as a package writer that need not concern you. You will
"see" outer series only under names you have chosen for the parameters
of your functions. Within your function, series can be confused with
functions only if you have chosen names that collide with built-in
functions.
I don't mean to imply any consequences (except perhaps warnings and
hints to package writers in the docs), but for completeness it should
perhaps be noted that this is not entirely true: If you receive a list
argument and pick out certain series their names come from the outside.
This can be worked around I'm sure, but it is a possibility I think.
cheers,
