Use of C++ namespaces in Mozilla code

[Simon Paquet]

Hi!

I wanted to ask whether
http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/portable-cpp.html#dont_use_namespace is
still the current policy of the project, considering that this passage
has been unchanged since the creation of that document 8 years ago
(1999-09-26)?

Thanks
Simon

The breakpad code already uses C++ namespaces, though it is only enabled by
default on our major platforms. I believe we should remove this restriction
and allow C++ namespaces to be used.
