That's what I meant.
There's one difference to static though: while static has internal linkage, 
namespace {} has external linkage. This is a problem as Dirk noted wrt 
relocation time, OTOH the advantage is that such symbols can be used as 
template arguments while static ones can't.
As this apparently wasn't a real problem in kdelibs by now, it's probably the 
best thing to stick with static in the libs until the linker issues are 
resolved, didn't think about those.
