	This is mostly for the CORBA infrastructure, where it's most important
to have namespacing, since it's so un-constrained. In a single process
world, it's somewhat easier - you have control of all your symbols and
things that are linked in so there are few problems.

	It is of course good style to namespace stuff anyway, typically methods
/ macros / types of application scope would have a gok_ / GOK_ / Gok 
prefix, but for module internals this is not usually neccessary.

	HTH,
