ok, I kinda see. So, I have another question: Is the 'pico tree namespace built the same way as any namespace of any 'loaded file? like, (load '@lib/simul.l) populates the 'simul symbol with the names defined inside the '@lib/simul.l file. Is the process for creating the 'simul namespace the same as creating the 'pico namespace?
And how is the namespace of a loaded file created?
