I suspect the consumer of this feature for whom it would make the biggest
difference would be shrinkwrapped packages. For example, if you have a
database and want to add on a logging package, a billing package, and a CMS
system and you want to store the data in your existing database so you can
integrate them all closely together, then it would be nice to at least keep
the database tables in separate namespaces.
