Again, discussion downs not to about how namespaces should behave, but
to choosing appropriate and conventional syntax for it. Personally, i
don't think its really matters.
Please, people, lets focus on more important things, if you don't want
to flame this topic, like in previous 'pipe syntax'.

Unfortunately, this is important to discuss. It does end up becoming a bike-shed discussion, but in about five years time when most programmers in the world will be using Squeak, the namespacing syntax they use will be the result of this discussion.

I'm still undecided as to which syntax to use and open to suggestions. I'll give it a week or so.
