If we really feel the need to add braces support later, we can. Who knows, maybe even the file-based restriction may disappear at some point. We might even be allowed to import a whole namespace to global and maybe even have the chance to override a name or two in the process, which would be my personal ideal, since all I really want out of a namespace is a way to resolve the few conflicts there are, rather than a rigorous total separation of every space. If everybody has been clamouring for namespaces and what we are delivering is arguably a namespace implementation, then so be it, and it is better marketing, and that's not evil so long as we're not lying.
