Oh boy. First off, to pre-empt any lengthy threads about this, people should go 
and read last year’s discussion over on the objc-language list, which started 
with a very detailed proposal for how to add namespaces.

Second, adding namespaces is definitely nontrivial, mostly for compatibility 
reasons. Any naive way of adding namespaces would break many of the dynamic 
features of Objective-C and consequently things like KVC/KVO and target-action.

Anyway, people, don’t reply here. If you read that earlier thread and still 
think you have more to add, go do it on the objc-language list, not here.
