The global eggs() returns the value from calling spam() and should use the *global* spam. The eggs in namespace Shop calls spam and returns its value, and I'd expect that call to resolve to Shop.spam, using the namespace eggs is defined in. If that's not how you imagine namespaces working, I think they are going to be quite non-intuitive for at least a certain set of users (including me...)
