This is probably a (dumb) parrot question rather than SDL, but I'd have
expected these:

> 	find_type app_type, 'SDL::App'

> .namespace [ 'MoveLogo::EventHandler' ]

to be more like

  	find_type app_type, 'SDL', 'App'
or:	find_type app_type, [ 'SDL', 'App' ]

  .namespace [ 'MoveLogo', 'EventHandler' ]

Would either/both of those work and you're just opting to have
double colons 'inside' a non-nested namespace name,
or am I misunderstanding how nested namespaces do/should/will work?
