I specifically chose not to generalize both of them into a single
abstraction of 'namespace' because of the inconsistency in behaviour.
Treating them as two different abstractions helps me keep the inconsistency
as well as conflation clear in my head.
In my experience, the last time I tried to resolve that into a single
notion, it kept tripping me up at the 'loading' cases, esp when trying to
include how older versions worked.

But YMMV.

Your result is not bad, but I still prefer my original approach. No
offence. :)

Oh, and I'm still waiting on an answer for [3]. ;)
