Hi,

on #perl6, we were wondering how to use() modules from foreign
languages which have an incompatible identifier syntax. E.g.:

    use perl5:Foo::Bar;     # fine, no problem

    # Load JavaScript modules from JSAN
    use jsan:Test.Simple;   # should we simply accept the dot, or...
    use jsan:Test::Simple;  # ask users to write this?

--Ingo

In my opinion we translate the foreign namespace into a perlish
one... It's more "at home", and at some point some language which
uses syntax errors for package qualifiers (Acme::Don't, anyone?) is
obund to pop up, and then it'll be just inconsistent.
