There are static variables inside function but this doesn't solve
the namespace problem.
I plan to add
namespace name
{
}
(it is already partially implements).
variables and functions defined in the namespace are namespace specific
and will not intefere with other name spaces.
You can call functions defined in another name space using the name
.namepace_name.function_name
I hope to complete namespaces before the end of this year if I can
find some time.
