yes. and math/logics trained brains confuse hierarchical namespaces with trees. names in nested namespaces should be DAGs, maybe even arbitrary graphs, meaning a chair can be a sit-on thing in several contexts, but not in all (think meeting).

in many contemporary programming languages you can express this, too, by exporting some imported name.
