They should behave exactly the same, since the code is exactly same.   
The prefix to the name is the only difference.

Since the sp_ prefix is a recent switch for Martin AFAIK, I hope I can  
convince everyone that its a bad thing with the namespaces, or at best  
unnecessary.  If people want the lib with prefixes, that's fine, and my  
proposed changes will accommodate both ways of working quite cleanly.    
I just hope that Martin will accept them.
