I could be wrong, but I think 'namespace' is an existing concept in
PG that is a way of organizing objects into logical groups.
As I recall, the group working on it decided to call it a 'directory' rather
than a 'tablespace', because of concerns that the latter word might be
proprietary to Oracle. I've lost touch with the rest of the members in
that group, though, since the computer I was using for PG development
purposes got zapped by lightning in August.
