Looks a bit strange.
Class methods already have their namespaces. For subs we could do:
.locale pmc ns, ns_foo
ns = interpinfo .CURRENT_NAMESPACE # or .TOPLEVEL_NAMESPACE
ns_foo = ns ["Foo"]
ns_foo."bar"()
The namespace PMC provides the find_method() that's actually behind that
call. With the additional benefit that it's using the method cache too.

Nested namspaces BTW: [ "Foo"; "Bar" ] aren't yet supported. Missing is
also the namespace name mangling (appending a NUL). The colon separated
thing is just one namespace - no nesting at all.

I think to create a nested class, we need something like:
set_namespace ["Foo"]
subclass cl, "Foo", "Bar"
...
.namespace ["Foo" ; "Bar" ]
methods
