If it can be done cleanly (semantics and syntax), without complicating
things (compiler, runtime, etc.) too much, and without breaking
compatibility, it'd be worth looking at. I can't say more than that
without an actual proposal.

While it's something with a decent potential for causing issues, I know
of no actual issue that this has caused. Can you give an example?

Only c++ namespaces for c++ stuff; all objective-c stuff must be in the
"default" namespace (if I'm reading the gcc sources right).
