How would you see us applying this? Changing the input string to look
something like.
query("xmlns(x=http://example.com/foo) xpath(//x:bar)");
Or adding it as another arg.
query("//x:bar", "xmlns(x=http://example.com/foo)
xmlns(y=http://example.com/y)");
In this case though the xmlns part isn't really necessary.
query("//x:bar", "x=http://example.com/foo y=http://example.com/y";);
Or maybe the second arg would be an array of decls.
namespaces[0] = "x=http://example.com/foo";;
namespaces[1] = "y=http://example.com/y";;
query("//x:bar", namespaces);
What I was orignally suggesting would look something like this.
query("//x:bar", "<ctx xmlns:x='http://example.com/foo'/>")
The name of the element is arbitrary. I don't see any added value in
doing this over any of the others.
