Hi, Guilliam,=20

I think so.

I don't need `dirname` function in order to extract path from a file name. =
However, `dirname` exists in order to simplify a "common" task in a semanti=
c way.

Why don't the same  with namespaces ?. There is nothing specific in order t=
o work with namespaces only they can be used.

Regards
