I have often wanted a namespace type, with class-like syntax and module-like 
semantics. In pseudocode:


namespace Spam:
     x = 1

     def ham(a):
         return x+a

     def cheese(a):
         return ham(a)*10


Spam.cheese(5)
=> returns 60


But I suspect that's not what you're talking about here in context.
