 In this example, the ''open'' construct enables one to rename a namespace. Once this
 has occured, there cannot be any naming conflicts. This version of ''open'' is a renaming construct; after the open statement, the old name for the namespace is eliminated.
+Another renaming scenario that can be useful is to move a namespace into another one.
+<code act>
+import lib;
+import lib => priv;
+</code>
+The first import statement above loads in the ''lib'' namespace. The second moves the namespace //into// ''priv''. If ''priv'' doesn't exist as a namespace, it is created. With this sequence, the original ''lib'' is now accessed as ''priv::lib''.
