That's not what's happening here. At least when this thread was 
started, it was not at all possible to just blissfully ignore 
them. You'd run into all kinds of weird issues, as Manu pointed 
out – many of which have hopefully been fixed by Walter in the 
meantime.

Apart from this, the argument still stands that the whole concept 
of having named scopes for C++ namespaces increases the size of 
the language for no good reason (yes, I'm aware that this 
increase might be trivial in terms of internal implementation, 
but it's not from a user's perspective).
