Not dander, as you may guess, but troubles or inconsistencies against
long history. Although it is possible to switch from a unique name-
space to two name-space (and not the opposite), this would be
considering the language alone and forgetting about its usage :
readers and program text. For readers reading program text, this would
make all program texts written so far, very singular against the
language rules. You will have all these text using one name-space
only, while the language would allow two.

This would seems to be another language.

(this would be OK only if it would have been the same from the
beginning)

Do you think it raises an exception ?
