It's a new feature in C++ that lets you put all the names in a library in their
own little package, so that by using the libary you don't have to have all of
those names conflicting with names in other libraries.

e.g. The standard library functions would be in namespace std.  It looks like
this:

mylibspace::print();

...where mylibspace is a namespace.
