C<.namespace> is currently in use for defining kind of scoped names, but that wouldn't conflict with above bracket syntax. Anway, whe should really define, what are the duties of the PIR assembler towards variable names, name mangling, lexical scopes, namespaces, globals, and all that related stuff. We need it.
