I'm not particularly thrilled by the approach.
I'd prefer introducing classes RootNamespace (deriving from Namespace)
and GlobalRootNamespace that introduce root namespaces. We just create
an Using alias that points to a RootNamespace, and the current
QualifiedAliasEntry code should handle it.
Each Namespace would then contain a pointer to its Root (currently a
singleton, but will now be an instance pointer). And we move
TypeManager.LookupTypeReflection to RootNamespace and
GlobalRootNamespace, and things should be hunky-dory.
