Here is a quick code example:

java.lang.Object@80d05fd
The catch is that you need to delete this renamed object like so.
% rename rect20 {}
% unset o
Yes, it is kind of a hack and it is not really a feature I would
want anyone to depend on, but it works. Just make sure you do
not drop the InternalRep of the variable o because then the object
will be garbage collected (but not the command in this case).

Just keep in mind that namespaces are not Itcl. They are just a way
to have "more global" spaces with a prefix on variable and proc names.
