My question is that if using the above code already incurs a perf penalty,
then why not just go ahead and include true support for braces in
namespaces. Unless there is an additional penalty that I'm missing, the only
difference between true braces and the above is that the above looks like a
cheap hack (note: the use the of phrase "cheap hack" is in no way meant to
demean the hard work of the people involved with the namespace
implementation, and is the sole opinion of the poster :)).
