I think this is a bad idea.  If there is going to use the
namespace-style prefix, then the underlying library should
be formatted the same way.  I don't think its useful to have
yet another special case for the list objects, which this
would be, especially when it does not add any new
functionality at all.

This could be achieved by compiling the list objects as a
libdir.
