        I was talking about the trivial case - prevent a user from creating a

        Yes, they are fundamentally different namespaces. But the fact that
they are fundamentally different namespaces is nothing but a hinderance
to users, and fudging an aggregation of these fundamentally different
namespaces should be both possible and beneficial to most users.
