I guess that is possible to do. Do foo and bar have to exist?
What about baz?
The pro is that is enables a check on spelling, the con is
it forces you to define an ugly tree like:
namespace foo { namespace bar { namespace baz {} } }
first, as a workaround. Note we can also have type variables ..
namespace foo[t] { namespace bar[u] ...
and even constraints:
namespace foo[t] { namespace bar[u where u = t + 1] { ...
and these have to be repeated every time either which way ..
an alternative is not to allow them except on the first
instance, and another is allow different names (but that's
harder because it requires renaming them all for consistency
in the enclosed code ;(
