Yes; this is one theory; what concerns me is the amount of typing
people would have to do if we keep adding namespace specifiers:
GNU_GNOME_OAF_
is longer, I'd like to try and avoid pre-pending too many levels
of redundant namespace, due to the extra typing pain this gives all C
binding users.
I am curious as to why you object to putting OAF in the GNOME
namespace though ? I know it was intended to be GNOME independant so it
could be used elsewhere; do you envisage GNOME_OAF_ putting off potential
clients ?
Clearly, if you object violently to putting it in GNOME/ there is
nothing I can do about it; carry on as normal.
Regards,
Michael.
