This is exactly what my approach is. Namespace is a subclass of Dictionary.

In a method, class definition or Workspace, you can use either either of:

Seaside at: #Component. " Look it up at runtime "
Seaside.Component "Look it up at compile time"

I'm sure if you really wanted the "Seaside Component" notation, it would be
possible for you to add this as well.
