Comment:
There's the start of an idea here, but it's not fully formed. For
starters, there isn't a single concept of a 'namespace' - there's the
application namespace and the instance namespace. What you refer to as the
"default" namespace is the application namespace.
Essentially, it sounds like you're proposing that include('myapp.urls',
namespace='foo', app_name='bar') can be made easier for the case where an
application knows it can provide a namespace. I agree with this. However,
it isn't quite as simple as you describe. By definition, you can't define
the instance namespace in the way you describe. However, you could define
the application namespace in this way.
There are some issues that need to be resolved here - for instance:
* What happens when you define an application namespace, but not an
instance namespace? This would happen if you ever did
include('myapp.urls') when myapp.urls defines an app_name internally.
* What takes precedence? An app_name defined in the include, or in the
app itself?
I'll mark this as accepted in principle - but there is some design work
that still needs to be done. If you can resolve what happens in the edge
cases, this shouldn't be too hard to implement (patches welcome).
