+Although this can be fixed, it will potentially slow down a lot the
+compiler.  The source of the problem is that there is no way to list
+the namespaces in an assembly without a costly process.
+
+That is why we also have the SimpleName hack in MCS instead of a
+`Namespace' expression (which would have been the right thing to do).
+
+I will make this a minor bug for now.
