namespace A {
    namespace B{
        class C {
            function D() { print "asdf\n"; }
        }
    }

}

B::C::D();

Apparently, the parser allows nesting namespaces, but they are all
registered as global ones. Should be fixed, I think.

Windows 2000 is certified not to crash more than
once a day, so what is the bootup time, 24 hours?

Noting to fix. This is by design. 

AZ>> namespace A {
AZ>>     namespace B{

Care to explain a little more? I think allowing this syntax is very
confusing for the user.

I can see the point of this:

namespace A {
   class B {
    ...
   }
}

...

namespace A {
   class C {
    ...
   }
}

But not in the example below. People would basically expect to have
nested namespaces, which we don't have, so why lead them on?
