I've got a question about how user defined namespaces should resolve
inside of packages. This is really an ES4 implementation question and
not a usage question.
Consider:
package one {
public namespace blue = "http://blue";
}
package one {
use namespace blue
blue var x :int
}
package two {
public namespace blue = "http://blue";
}
package two {
use default namespace blue
blue var x : string
}
This fails to compile as the two "blue var x" declarations have
different fixture types. So this implies that variable declarations
inside packages that have namespaces with identical URI => are not
defined with any package qualification. ie. the namespace is the only
qualification. This is what I expected, but just
wanted to confirm this.
Also, I noticed in the RI that you can't have namespace (and other)
declarations outside of a "package {" block. ie.
namespace blue
package {
}
will fail to compile, but put the namespace declaration inside of
"package {" and it works. Surely, these declarations should be allowed
outside an explict package declaration due to the fact that there is an
implicit "package {" around global declarations?
