Parenthetically, I never grasped the appeal of the parenthetical comment.
Yet Another Namespace for Yet Another Entirely New Purpose seems highly
*desirable* to me!  Trying to overload the current namespace set makes it so
much harder to see that these are compile-time gimmicks, and users need to
be acutely aware of that if they're to use it effectively.  Note that I
understand (& wholly agree with) the need for runtime introspection.
