</div>have you considered that this is exactly the problem? i can see only two<br>
options: either you have two totally orthogonal classes/namespaces with<br>
very similar names (which is just plain bad api), or thought should be<br>
put into integrating the two (i know that the underlying technologies<br>
are different, but if it's still just the same thing at two different<br>
layers, then a common api abstraction might make sense).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We could change the namespace to something else, as long as we have a quick and effective proposal for changing the name. Or even better, merging the namespaces. What about starting a different thread (this one is pretty offtopic and cluttered) so we can have more people discussing that?</div>
