So I've been looking into the new Monkey 2 stuff and namespaces caught my eye, reading about them am I missing a trick or a useful byproduct of using them over that I've usually done to avoid clashes.

Currently I'd wrap associated functions & variables into a Type\Class

Type Thingy
   Global name="dave"

   Function Blah()
      Print "blah"
   End Function

End Type

Thingy.Blah()
Print Thingy.name

With namespaces I guess i'd do;

Namespace Thingy

Global name="dave"

Function Blah()
   Print "blah"
End Function

Thingy.Blah()
Print Thingy.name

Yes that's exactly what you can do, quite handy. And they're hierarchical as well so you can organise them further is you need to, ie

Main module:

Namespace timelinefx

sub module:

Namespace timelinefx.collision

Namespaces have allowed me to remove all the horrible, HORRIBLE pr prefixes for all Pyro classes and functions!
