Hydroper opened a new issue #100: Literal string to identify package public namespace
URL: https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/issues/100
 
 
   The owners of this repository might be familiar with ASC 2 codebase, so I 
   was wondering if you're able to support this at compile time:
   
   ```as3
   namespace dispns = 'flash.display'
   new dispns::Sprite
   // dispns should equal the public namespace of flash.display
   ```
   
   Normally the literal string assigned to namespaces (at compile time) is an URI, but in ECMAScript 4 it was also used to identify package names (at compile time).
   
   The following also works, but falls to wildcard type:
   
   ```as3
   const dispns = new Namespace('flash.display')
   new dispns::Sprite // *
   ```
   
   Consider this is a feature request.
