Coming across this again - nope. Understanding what happens where and when
across the boundary between macros and build scriptlets is hard enough as it
is, adding namespaces and scopes would only make it so much worse.
Judging by the examples given, the idea is to better support multiple differ

Thanks for the feedback! It makes me realise, that I forgot to emphasise things
that were obvious to me (as a packager).
