i don't know. my native language allows construction of compound words,
and while this seems ridiculous to many english speakers, it's not that
it makes a lot of problems in real world.

for unknown reasons, it seems that [text file] seems to work for lots of
people.

and i argue that it's a bad idea to introduce whitespace as namespace
delimiter in a language that already uses whitespace as token/atom
separator.

i cannot remember any other complang, that uses whitespace as namespace
delimiter, most likely because virtually all languages already use
whitespace to separate tokens.

i'm fine with hyphen, underscore, CamelCase.
i just don't like space.
