   By contrast, namespaces are a creation out of thin air.  This is not
   to say that they don't address a legitimate need--only that there is
   little real-world C++ experience with anything at all resembling namespaces.

Ada packages are very close to namespaces in C++.  This added level of
packages is extremely valuable in large scale projects.  Namespaces are
just as valuable in large scale C++ projects, IMHO.
