You are misunderstanding, the namespace above is the namespace that the
class Apple should be IN - it is NOT an import.
I repeat - my proposal HAS NO IMPORTS.

Sidenote: I have dropped the above class creation template and use now
instead simply qualified names like this:

	Object subclass: #Trees::Oak
		instanceVariableNames: ''
		classVariableNames: ''
		poolDictionaries: ''
		category: 'Trees'

When you create a class like this you automatically get a new Namespace
for it so that:

	(Trees at: #Oak) == (Smalltalk at: #Trees::Oak)

Code coming soon - it ALL WORKS right now, but I am polishing it a bit.

PS. Yes, Bert, Andreas and Avi - I backed down and have now virtualized
the Namespace instances instead. Much, much simpler of course - and in
fact it is now "ready". I am just finishing up some comments and
tweaking it. Will post it during the day.
