All I meant by "behind the scenes" was quite a bit of time using IM,
revising the patch and emailing back and forth to resolve obvious
problems before making a public proposal.  Surely we don't need public
feedback on half-baked ideas?

Incidentally, the multiple namespaces patch has been around for months,
first posted on the list, and the idea of use ::name and the problem of
not having it has been noted multiple times on the list.
