The Google coding standard that used `::' was cute and all, but without a
broader framework to surround it (which I do not have time for atm), it's
too much. `:' seems just as reasonable as a namespace delimiter.
This is motivated by Google's shell coding standards and will reduce the
odds of a naming conflict with other functions (which, of course, would
cause terribly odd and difficult-to-find bugs, in both our system and
others').
If this seems like it creates long, overly-verbose function names with no
relief in sight---you're right. I'll have a solution for that in a bit, as a
separate project. ...as a part of my never-ending, growing heap of projects.
