Over the years, I've spent many many hours discussing 
namespace-related language issues, and hypothetical problems 
that might arise, in some program, someday. I've only rarely
encountered in my own code, or read about on this forum, 
any actual problems, and those seemed fairly easy to fix 
by *horrors!* tweaking the source. So either this is a 
very minor problem, or I just don't have the right experience 
to appreciate it. So I plan to sit on the sidelines until 
there's a vote on a concrete proposal.
My gut feeling is obviously in favor of a minimalist approach
to addressing this issue.

I think a more important immediate issue 
is to get a version of Win32Lib released 
that actually works properly with the IDE,
without requiring an extra package of special fixes.
I think that must be putting off a lot of newbies.
