/**
 * Instances of the class NATNamespace represent namespace objects.
 * 
 * Namespace objects act as regular AmbientTalk objects with the following differences and conventions:
 *  - Behaviourally, a namespace object is mirrored by a mirror whose doesNotUnderstand
 *    method reacts differently from the standard semantics of raising a 'selector not found' exception.
 *  - Structurally, a namespace has the lexical root as its lexical parent and the dynamic root as its dynamic parent.
 *    Furthermore, a namespace object encapsulates an absolute file system path and a relative 'path name'.
 *    The name should correspond to a portion of the tail of the absolute path.
 *    These variables are not visible to AmbientTalk code.
 *         
 * When a slot is looked up in a namespace NS for a path P (via meta_select) and not found, the namespace object
 * queries the local file system to see whether the selector corresponds to a directory or file in the
 * directory P. Either the selector:
 *  - corresponds to a directory, in which case the missing slot is bound to a new namespace object corresponding to the path P/selector
 *  - corresponds to a file named selector.at, in which case:
 *    1) the slot is temporarily bound to nil
 *       (this is to prevent loops when the code to be evaluated would refer to itself;
 *        it also means there can be no circular dependencies, because referring to a slot still under construction yields nil)
 *    2) a new object FS (the 'file scope') is created.
 *       This object acts as the local scope for the file and has access to its 'enclosing' namespace via the '~' slot.
 *       Hence, it can refer to other files in the 'current directory' using ~.filename
 *    3) the code in the file is loaded and evaluated in the context (current=FS, self=FS, super=FS.parent=dynroot)
 *    4) the result of the evaluated code is bound to the missing slot.
 *       The next time the slot is queried for in the namespace, the value is immediately returned. This prevents
 *       files from being loaded twice.
 *  - does not correspond to any file or directory, resulting in a selector not found exception as usual.
