True. But the C# namespace concept is totally different from the Pascal
one, as I wrote in the previous message.

Pascal would have to make an inventory of all files in the searchpath, not
just in a certain (classpath or GAC) location.

IOW, the resemblence of dots in filenames and C#/Java namespaces is only
superficial.
