I don't think that is the reason for having namespace-qualified
keywords...different libraries might want to use the same keyword for
different purposes and that is fine - no clashes (or at elast I've not
understood what you mean).
It's my understanding that ::foo has (or should have) actual 'meaning'
in whatever namespace it exists whereas :foo doesn’t really have any
'meaning'.
I don't really think you want to access your record fields with a
namespace-qualified keyword, do you? How would that work exactly? what
if you got an instance of the record outside the namespace where the
namespace-qualified keyword is defined? It doesn't make sense to me at
all...
