If we throw out the magical version (which seems a popular
opinion, and is certainly quite fine with me), does letting

really break that many expectations? That and having
ActiveRecord strip the AppModule prefix off classes for the
purposes of table naming (probably) I think would be exactly
the same as the "auto namespace" version of the proposal, only
without anything being automatic.
As a Ruby programmer, if I see
class User < AR::Base
end
That User has to belong to Object.
Right, this is why I specifically said we're no longer talking about
the "auto namespace" version of the proposal, because of this
complaint. Which is fine.
If an application wants AppModule::User then it can define it that
way and have autoloading working and everything. Just use Ruby.
I'll have to play with this more, but I'm pretty sure if I name my
classes AppModule::User then at the very least that will change what I
have to name my tables (or I will have to manually set the table name
on each model) -- I will also have to put everything in an 'appmodule'
folder for the autoloader, I think, and I'm not sure what the
autoloader does for the case when I'm inside an `AppModule` context
and I say `User` (which ruby will search for as AppModule::User at
some point already, so maybe this particular part will just work as-is).
I don't like the idea of adding more conventions to how autoload works
in ActiveSupport/Rails like specifying a default namespace, etc. I'd
certainly prefer for all my application-specific classes to be
namespaced under the application name, but I still don't know how to do
that in a practical way.
Ideally, I'd like to fix this in the Ruby level, instead of the
framework/libraries one:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9064
The main problem of namespacing everything is that your routes.rb get
more verbose and you'd need to wrap all your codes into a module
MyApp-end block, adding an indentation level to all controllers and
models for instance...
So, I'd love to be able to specify some kind of C++'s namespace (or
Java's package) support to my Ruby files, but currently I don't know
about any practical way of doing that and I really believe this is a
feature request to be handled by the Ruby language rather than by Rails
itself...
