Not sure whether it helps, but a similar concept in
some Scheme dialects is called a "fluid binding".

e.g. Section 5.4 of http://www.scheme.com/csug8/binding.html

It's not quite the same thing as we're talking about
here (the names bound exist in the normal name lookup
scope rather than a separate namespace) but maybe some
of the terminology could be adapted.
