Re: New module system wishlist

This is actually probably a wish on the environment system...

- Sub-namespaces and Acquisition.

This is a generalization of a concept used in Zope. The idea is
that you have an hierarchy of namespaces, say

A
  B
  C
    D
  E

A symbol defined in A is visible in any of the namespaces. A
symbol defined in B, D or E is only visible in that namespace.
A symbol defined in C is visible in C or D.

Zope uses this for a quite powerful effect. Yet, this is not a
Python feature, it is emulated by overriding __getitem__ and
__getattr__. Or something.
