Absolutely +1 for namespaces.

Even if you despise the concept of namespaces that seems like that 
can be addressed by a project and/or company style guide that 
explicitly forbids their use.

For the people/projects that would embrace namespaces, namespaces 
would be a godsend.

Sure, you can probably pull all kind of stunts to simulate 
namespaces, but besides creating additional  work for the Swift team 
(and I do not say nor take that lightly), they really need to be 
supported and implemented at the language/syntax level for first 
class citizenry.
