In a sentence or two, what is a namespace and why do we want it?

Quoting the updated FAQ file:

2.9: What is a `namespace' anyway?

Sorta like a first name and a last name for a variable? Even I haveoften run into name crowding. Just recently there was that grief aboutan unrealized existing integer making mischief. So 'family names' couldsure be a good thing.


   As of this writing, namespaces in zsh are little more than syntactic
   sugar for grouping related parameters.
