I don't know Stefan's motives, but would love to see actual namespaces
in Emacs Lisp.  The closest thing I've seen is
https://github.com/Bruce-Connor/names which can be installed from the
GNU ELPA.  Perhaps that's an actual problem we keep ignoring because
it's easy to hack around it "just that once."
