Namespaces

A namespace is responsible for binding a set of symbols to objects of various kinds, so that these objects may be referred to by name.

You can instantiate a namespace and start binding names to any kind of object:

| cssConstants |
cssConstants := Namespace new.
cssConstants
  bind: #inherit to: 'inherit';
  bind: #white to: Color white

By default, you can't bind a name already bound, but you can use the rebind:to: message to accomplish that.

Now it's possible to access the object bound by name:

cssConstants >> #white

will return an object representing the white color.
