Package:          Class/Object related
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Package/Namespace visibility control keyword

Description:
------------
With the addition of namespaces, a new level of member protection for
classes similar to Java's package visibility would be a useful addition.  

Currently we have the following protection levels: 

* Private: Member is visible only within the class that defines it
* Protected: Member is visible within the class that defines it and any
subclasses that inherit from it
* Public: Member is visible anywhere.  

I would suggest that an additional "package" or "namespace" protection
level keyword would be a useful addition.  Members marked as package or
namespace would be visible to any other class defined in the same namespace
as the defining class.
