You read that wrong. We were talking about giving the same include two 
different namespaces within a single source file. "Aliases", IOW.

This has nothing to do with what those namespaces are called in other files,  
There's no reason you should have to edit other files or third party source.  
You know this is true, because namespaces are never passed on. 

Can show me a good reason to refer to one variable by two different names 
within a single source file?
