Inlining would be a useful thing in itself, but I would still hate having to type in those inline wrappers

I agree - namespaces arent necessarily the best way of making declares easier to use globally, I was kind of implicitly suggesting en extra feature there - but I do think that tying declares to namespaces is useful because declares tend to be from 3rd pty libraries OS or otherwise, and there are often naming conflicts that can arise. > I recall a time when you > could drag a library into the project and defining entry points - > decalres seem a bit backwards in comparison...
