#351 Namespaces in directives

[Josep Maria Blasco]

Many directives that allow namespace-qualifies classnames don't explicitly say so, which is misleading.

For example, rexxref 3.3 ::CLASS says about sclass that it "is a literal string or symbol that is taken as a constant", but it should say that it "is a literal string or an optionally namespaced symbol that is taken as a constant" (strings, for whatever reason, cannot be namespaced).

Here's a patch.

[Rony G. Flatscher]

Looks good, thank you very much, Josep Maria!

WHAT is a namespaced symbol.
rexxref talks about namespace but not namespaced

[Josep Maria Blasco]

"namespaced symbol" = "a symbol preceded by a namespace and a colon".

[Gil Barmwater]

Perhaps "namespace-qualified symbol" assuming that is defined in the section on Namespaces? Just a thought.

[Josep Maria Blasco]

Sounds much better, yes. Thanks, Gil!

[Josep Maria Blasco]

Here's an updated patch, following Gil's suggestion.

found this in ressref:
namespace-prefixed symbol.

[Josep Maria Blasco]

Interesting. There are six occurrences of "namespace-" in rexxref. Five are "namespace-qualified", and one is "namespace-prefixed". Clearly, this should be fixed to "namespace-qualified". Thanks for pointing this out.

[Josep Maria Blasco]

Here's a small additional patch for the "namescape-prefixed" mention.
