Clearly I'm not Dan, but I think the idea here is that, for example,
in the following code:
module Foo::Bar {
class Baz { $quux }
}
You can have "the current namespace" actually be [ ::Foo::Bar::Baz,
::Foo::Bar, ::* ] (or, for the last one, whatever the namespace that
@*ARGS and friends are in is called), so that the search for $quux can
be done very easily.
