It's a very C-like approach, but yes, it's certainly a crude sort of
namespace. Perl already has a more robust and modern

Yes it is. But I thought that prefix-namespaces would scale better. Especially
if the documentation system got complicated enough to involve modules, possibly
those by

In other words, the original pattern says starting with

You know, this problem would go away, almost entirely, if we had a :f[ull]

your code becomes:

for grins, :f[ull]l[ine] could use ^^ and $$.
