Derek,

We currently have the ability for a file to declare it's namespace, what do you
think about building from it:

-- pack_a.e
namespace pack

friend integer abc

-- pack_b.e
namespace pack

include pack_a.e

? abc

I have no idea if friend is a good word or not, but it's not global and not
local. It says you can share this item with other files in the same namespace.
