Namespaces can be useful for organizational reasons. For example 
they can be used for grouping a collection of items under one 
roof. However you can already accomplish this and more using 
struct along with static members.

struct io
{
    static
    {
	void print() { writeln("foo");	}
    }
}

io.print();

Plus struct's come with additional abilities that can turn a 
simple namespace into a much more capable one, for example by 
adding in ctors and dtors.
