It wasn't designed to have multiple namespaces at all to begin with. But as
now have them we should at least think of what we want...

How so?
namespace foo {
namespace bar {
class baz {}
}
}
According to your won words it is all about name substitution. Explicitly
you were talking about simple text replacement. Now that in mind I see and
easy replacement here. That is 'bar' becomes 'foo::bar' and 'baz'
obviously
becomes 'foo::bar::baz' or can you find something else?
Actually we already have this:
namespace foo;
namespace foo::bar;
class baz {}
And that does exactly what I described above. But maybe I just to stupid
:-)
Best regards,
