A Name Space is a set of string-valued names that map into C variables.
In other words, it's a symbol table.
The main use for these is in the lqkwic client, but they are destined for higher things, including internationalised message support and configuration options.
A new facility, the Glue Interpreter, will be available in the next release; this generalises the little language used by the lqkwic client, and provides something rather like printf and scanf but with named variables (and higher efficiency). if you are working in this area, or would like to know more, you should send mail to Liam Quin (lee@sq.com) and ask him for the state of progress on Glue.
