I agree.

Yes, I just tried it on this and it worked:

Namespace current: A [
   
   Object subclass: KlassA [ KlassA class >> pathSep [ ^PathSeparator
] ]
   Namespace current: B [
       Object subclass: KlassB [ KlassB class >> pathSep [
^PathSeparator ] ]
   ]
]

A.KlassA pathSep printNl.
A.KlassA allSharedPoolDictionariesDo: [ :each | each printNl ].
A.B.KlassB pathSep printNl.
A.B.KlassB allSharedPoolDictionariesDo: [ :each | each printNl ]

Should have just tried it before asking you, sorry! :-)  Merged to
master.
