 The Syndicate library((https://git.syndicate-lang.org/ehmry/sycl/src/branch/trunk/syndicate.md)) is almost pure Tcl and makes heavy use of namespaces.
-The library supports a SAM facet((https://synit.org/book/glossary.html#facet)) tree using nested namespaces. The ''during'' proc (equivalent to ''When'') executes its handle script in a new namespace on every match, and when the ''during'' statement expires the dataspaces are destroyed automatically.
