[IronPython] [python] [IronPythonStudio] NamespaceClassesandAssembly Files

[Pigneri, Rocco]

Well, it seems like you guys are giving it a token specifically for the
"namespace" identifier.  Could you maybe change this token to "#class"
so that the class line is just commented out?  Not sure if that helps at
all, but it is a thought.

I strongly suspect it is the consequence of the CodeDOM provider that
produces similarly structured code whatever the target language. I'm
sure there *must* be some way to rectify this for IronPython though as
those namespace classes are worse than useless.
