Above point sounds as a good invitation to
inventions of some artificial (maybe crazy)
test codes to try the namespace thing from 
all sides.

Actually The Archive almost globally consists
of the programs written without the namespace
feature.

So, those programs are not very useful as
the special test programs -- they have no
any conflicts of any names and only pure
new special stuff can help.

As an example of such special test program
I have attached 4 files.

Try please and you'll see that global integer
z of a.e is not visible inside include files
b.e and c.e.

This feature seems to be not very useful

--a.e file
global integer z
z=1
?z
--a.e eof
--b.e file
global integer z
z=2
?z
--b.e eof
--c.e file
global integer z
z=3
?z
--c.e eof
--z.ex file, run it
include a.e
include b.e
include c.e
?z
z=5
?z
integer z
z=4
z+=z
?z
include c.e
global integer z
z=2
?z
--z.ex eof
