I should have said, due to bugs in [declare], this only works on GNU/ 
Linux.  Since Miller uses Linux, I was assuming that its the reference  
platform in terms of how [declare] works.  It currently works  
differently/less on Mac OS X, for example.

Part of my point with this examples is to show that you can have a  
simple setup while using namespace prefixes in the project, libraries  
as folders, and in the libraries that a project uses.  I couldn't find  
any issues with the setup illustrated in that tarball, have you found  
some?
