I'm -1 on adding a new built-in for this functionality -- it's just not important enough to warrant a built-in (there are already too many built-ins!). Putting a "namespace type" in the standard library could provide enough helpful functionality to make an import well warranted, so I'm +1 on adding such a type to the standard library (in 2.6 -- I think it's too late for 2.6).
