Hi, We are still working on namespace concept and its features. I am not sure that existing concept will work well as is. So please, don't make us additional troubles. The name is important but it may be changed later, first look into concept itself. Do you completely satisfied with it? Have you tried to use it in real life applications or frameworks? Have you measured slowdown? Do you see holes in concept? These questions are more important then the name...
BTW: I personally would accept 'package' for current implementation, but in the future we would need to rename it back :) Thanks.
