In your most recent posts you provided some rationale for this, but nowhere as much as would have been necessary if anybody else proposed this feature and had to write a DIP for it. Introducing c++ namespace scopes added quite some complexity to the language and so far, you seem to be the only proponent of this, whereas we have many opponents. In the DIP process, such a change would have required quite a solid justification, examples, comparison to alternative solutions etc. Such a detailed rationale has never been given for this feature. -- Johannes
