For Caml, are the identifiers in each file truly namespaced? ie., do you refer 
to other file's identifiers using the qualified name including the file name?

Uses were reworked by David and I haven't thoroughly gone through the code for 
them, but if the namespace means that the declaration(s) cannot be found, that 
may be the problem (at a guess).  If you search for the declaration, with and 
without the namespace context, at the place where you call newUse, do you get 
a declaration without the namespace context and none with it?
