Squeak and Namespaces

Ahoy!

I know this might sound like a naive question... But why haven't we  
implemented namespaces yet?  I'm sure there have been some attempts-  
but what is the status of namespaces in Squeak?

I ask because it seems that, to me, it would be relatively easy to  
implement an intelligent namespace system in Squeak, something we all  
could decide on.  It could even offer backwards compatibility in  
that, for now, all the classes in the image are just part of the  
default namespace, that way nothing gets broken.

Ideas? Thoughts? Maybe a pointer to a discussion where this was  
already hashed out? Thanks!

Regards,
Aaron
