You started to defend the current state with a non existing JS feature. And then you found a wiki page.

So going with existing expectation is good or bad? And then if there are two things, The concept and the implementation. Wouldn't it make sense to not use the marking relevant one in the implementation and instead use package in the implementation as that is what we are implementing. At least when looking at the code and its behavior. And then use the damn word 'namespaces' in PR material? Oh and don't forget your namespace wiki matches both concepts. The concept of namespace in existing languages (with nesting and stuff) and the package stuff which is limited to one per file.
