This implementation, while being simple, is as real as it gets. There's nothing unreal in not having multiple namespaces per file.
all. Take a look around at the countless other languages that already have this functionality. You're gimping the language further if you
And take look around at languages that don't - such as Python. Or Perl, that though allows using package declaration in any block multiple times, almost always uses it the same way we do, and even when it doesn't it easily could. Or Java.
