I believe that it would be Alan's own invention?

Alan: could you point me to the bit in that rather large design document that is relevant to Namespaces?

For the record, I think namespaces are gay. =P
They're one of the reasons C++ sucks. I now deeply regret not speaking up against traits which is now causing the obvious problems as people begin to try to use them.
The best solution to the problem is to implement something along the lines of my Sphere operating system that I came up with five years ago. Squeak used to have a large subset of Sphere functionality in the form of the class Environment. Use that and partition the system into usable chunks. -- it really is the best solution. =)
