There are no problems. It's just an idea. Why must
everybody be so
ambiguous? Anyways, I'll try to be clearer:

I think it would be a good idea to namespace the kdevelop
libraries. I
have no technical reasons for this. I like namespaces. I
think it can
make the code cleaner in a lot of cases. I try to do it
whenever it
makes sense. I think it makes sense here, so I propose it.

Do you want the kdevelop libraries to be namespaced? (yes or
no is all I need)

If yes, do you have any other ideas for a name?


Since I seem to be the only one (besides Adam and Hamish)
who seem to be
pushing things along, I'm just doing what I want when I
want, except for
when I think there might be some controversy. Hence this
discussion. If
the majority of folks don't want namespacing, that's ok.
We won't do
namespacing in that case.

Thanks

I'm tempted to support namespacing... if only because it
should lead to 
forcing us to properly support namespaces in our c++
language support 

BTW, I learnt that you can have namespace abbreviations
recently (while 
implementing namespace support  so we
could have our cake and eat it too.

eg:

namespace KDevelop {
	int foo;
}

namespace KDev = KDevelop;

int test()
{
	return KDev::foo;
}

(iirc)

Cheers,
Hamish.
