Having it be absolute makes more sense to me, but there likely will be
people who want relative. Maybe something like:
$P0 = get_namespace[;"Foo";"Bar"]
Where the empty part mean "current namespace here." Of course, then
it'd be really confusing because it's the opposite of pathnames on
unix. Although if [;"Foo";"Bar"] is absolute, it makes sense as well
because the default namespace is "unnamed" and it'd be more convenient
than writing ["";"Foo";"Bar].

A bunch of namespace opcodes and methods could work absolute or

Where should the lookup start?
Is this to be considered absolute (from namespace root), absolute from
the current HLL setting, or relative from the current namespace?
