Which clearly is not the case. You're only failing to understand namespaces because you're making them more complicated than they are. Namespaces are entirely, thoroughly, simple and stupid. They have no behaviour whatsoever. They don't inherit. They don't mean anything. They don't magically appear where they haven't been requested. -- Robin Berjon
