after reading your post, i pondered it for a while, and grew to like it...
as well as some other namespace suggesstions prior to this post, irv, etal.

i have one serious fear with your post however...
i feel as though all those namespace lookup for each call of a function
will *DRASTICALLY* alter the speed of recursion, which is one of EU's
main strong points...
i will however assume that rob can apply some cacheing for the function
lookups for recursion to alleviate any overhead your suggesstion might have
