Namespaces would indeed be very helpful - for two reasons:

that calls
it
2) it would facilitate much better support for incorporating 3rd
party code
into projects - whether RB based through DLL declares or plugins.
My idea for namespaces would be to implement them simply as a
special type
of RB project folder. Any RB class, module,interface or window
placed
inside such a folder would then be accessed by using the namespace
name as a
dot prefix.
A module with methods works for this
Create a method that wraps the declare once and use the heck out of it
That is rb's namespace mechanism at the moment
If RB could inline these wrapper methods that might actually be
useful! I don't really get the namespace request but a way to define
a declare once and use it everywhere (or define it once in a class
and use it there) would be hugely helpful. I recall a time when you
could drag a library into the project and defining entry points -
decalres seem a bit backwards in comparison...
