Actually, here's another great example.

I'm trying to figure out how to use a library based on sample code that 
calls it. Both library and sample code suck (can you say 800-line macros? An 
entire multimedia jukebox written in one 14000-line main()?)

But at least if the library names were in a namespace, I could distinguish 
while I'm reading whether "audio_info" and "instance_modifier" and crap like 
that was part of the library or part of the sample program, and drill down 
until I found the actual types used by the library.

    Eiffel - The language that lets you specify exactly
    that the code does what you think it does, even if
    it doesn't do what you wanted.
