      Proposed

      • Allow purely numeric segments after the first segment. First segment still needs to start with with a letter
      • Allow dash in all segments (except as first character in first segment)

      Currently a namespace has to consist of several dot-separated segments, and each segment has to be a SimpleIdentifier (essentially a JavaScipt/Java/Swift/C# variable name).

      We could relax this and allow - at least for the second, third, ... segment, additional characters, most prominently the dash , and allow to have purely numeric segments, e.g. Some.Namespace.3.1.4 to allow for semantic versioning of namespaces.
