Hi James,

I'm working on the experiment of breaking off a subset of Prawn into
the the PDF namespace.   But I'm finding that anywhere I previously
referenced Hash in prawn now points to PDF::Hash instead of ::Hash.
So I'm needing to go around adding :: everywhere, usually after
hunting down subtle and hard to locate bugs (even w. our tests)

Maybe PDF::Hash should be called something else?   Even
PDF::Data::Hash might prevent this issue,   But it might be best to
call it something else entirely.

I agree, I hadn't considered the ramifications.

I don't like the idea of nesting it inside another module. I'd prefer
PDF::XXX, but I'm struggling to come up with names. Any other
suggestions?

It's a collection of objects - maybe PDF::Objects?

Yeah, I think that's acceptable (though a bit too close to Object for my liking)

PDF::ObjectDictionary ?

This is (finally) partially fixed in the pdf-reader master branch, and
will be completely fixed before the next release.

PDF::Hash will be deprecated in favour of PDF::Reader::ObjectHash, which
should avoid namespace issues. For at least 1 or 2 releases the
PDF::Hash class will continue to exist and print a deprecation warning.

I'll arrange a patch for prawn to use the new class name before I
release a gem.
