/**
 * Encloses the scope of a Java class inside the scope of the given C++ namespace.
 * The namespace also gets nested when applied to nested Java classes, but the
 * annotation accepts as well a string of nested namespaces with the help of the
 * usual "::" separator, while one that starts with "::" resets the namespace to
 * the global scope.
 * 
 * This annotation can also be applied in a more Java-like fashion on each method.
 * Further, a namespace annotation with an empty value can be used to indicate
 * that the identifier does not support namespaces (such as macros).
