Yeah -- if enforcing was even possible, then I'd be putting all
my votes behind Gtk2::PerlExtra::. As is, I'm trying to pick the
choice that will most likely be complied with voluntarily, and I
have a strong gut feeling that Gtk2Perl:: would be it.

Though after seeing the Gtk2::PerlExtra:: proposition, it's
getting really hard to keep supporting that terribly crappy
namespace I didn't even like to begin with. I'm not sure what to
say anymore; after seeing the contrast between the practical and
the correct/aesthetical solution, I don't know if I can bring
myself to care strongly about the matter anymore.

I guess the question is back to where we started, ie whether
Gtk2-Perl would be bundled with helpful Perl-side contributions
from others. In that matter my standing is that it works for Perl
itself and the core modules, so why shouldn't it for Gtk2-Perl.
