Thanks Matt and Chip. It's going to take a while to digest all that, but
already I have a question:

> Synopsis
>     - Languages should contain their namespaces

Suppose my application is multi-HLL. For example, some parts of it are
written in Python and some in Ruby. Suppose I take one small part that
is written in Python and decide to re-implement it in Ruby.

Does this mean that I _must_ change its namespace? Or may I write it in
Ruby but keep it within a Python-compliant namespace?

In other words, shouldn't namespaces and HLLs be orthogonal from
Parrot's point of view? I understand that most HLLs will want to use
their own conventions, and some will want a unique namespace prefix, but
should this be forced by Parrot?

Regards,
Roger Browne
