I think this is unintentional artifact because we can access the namespaced properties inside a module. If you are in a module Mymodule that has a function foo you can either use foo() or MyModule.foo(). That way MyModule must be one of the names accessible inside MyModule.
Maybe others have more insight to complement my guess.
