      @BrandonBloom super interesting. in Jn I'm playing around with namespaces as lightweight data structures that facilitate expanding abbreviated names into fully qualified names, no more. modules are compiled with FQNs but there could still be ambiguities introduced to the source down the line.

    @BrandonBloom although the more I think about it the more I think ambiguities are unavoidable if you want to use use, but maybe manageable in practice. C# has using and F# has open which theoretically would have the same issue, but in practice it's not a problem?
