I don't think namespaces are the holy grail.

Assume we introduce namespaces, do things 'Properly' and introduce
Core.FileUtils
Core.StringUtils
(the names are just examples, to make a point)

Now let's take example existing routines such as
ExtractFilePath
ExtractFileName
Where do we put them ?

Using your examples names -- I say that because I disagree they are good names:

Core.File.Utils
 - ExtractFilePath
 - ExtractFileName

These functions 'belong' to the file context, not strings.

Well, I disagree strongly: I would put them in strings, since it is only about string manipulation.

That is my point: it depends on your starting position.
