So does FPC or Lazarus already support the ability to specify the 
default namespace that must be applied for a project? If so how and 
where do you specify the namespace to be applied?

eg:
  With Delphi I can write code using the Forms unit, but then at compile 
time I can specify the VCL or FMX namespace, and the correct 
<namespace>.Forms.pas unit will be used. This is a key feature of 
namespaces and dotted units - and very useful in framework type code.

Last time I checked [some months ago] FPC and Lazarus only supported 
dotted unit names, but the ability to specify a default namespace was 
not supported yet.
