I don't remember who asked for namespaced functions, but i was prolly the 
first to ask for namespaced vars, for access to the name list of vars, for 
ability to build var-names in the program dynamically, and for a trap to know 
when a var was changed and to execute code at that time. For now, anyone 
wanting to do these things needs to use associated lists.
