The namespace bug I found in 0.40 just made me think of starting a
wiki to document these ideas. I think we should have a pretty clear
idea of how we want to implement namespaces before this is
implemented. Since Miller has added some namespace-related stuff in
0.40, I think the time is now to start discussing.

For example, one issue that just came up is namespace prefixes.
Namespace prefixes are not optional, every decent namespace that I
have used allows you to both import/declare and call classes directly
using the whole path. Here's how Java does, in a rough example:
import my.lib;
Prepend myPrepend = new Prepend(); // from my.lib
other.lib.Prepend myOtherPrepend = new other.lib.Prepend();
