True, and we've had few complaints about that. Still, if we can
clean it up without too much effort, let's do so.

Would we need a new flag in the ParseNamespaceItem data structure,
or will the existing data serve? I see how to do this if we add
a "doesn't really have a name" flag, but it's not clear to me that
we can reliably identify them otherwise. Maybe a test involving
the rtekind and whether the "alias" field is set would do, but
that way seems a bit ugly.
