Given all this uncertainty and that we're already more than 2 years
past the 5.9 release, I'd rather get the tractable parts out there
sooner.
I thought I'd be able to pick it up as the thread progressed, but I
still have no idea what a namespace even is. It sure sounds
complicated. I keep seeing structures because of the dots but I
know that's not the case. In a sentence or two, what is a namespace
and why do we want it? But I do remember vaguely that I once had a
question where the future solution was going to be just that. BTW
interesting to learn that ksh is still in active development, I
thought it was on ice, like bash.
