For a while now, I've been wondering whether it would be worth having a construct purely for creating little namespaces, instead of abusing a class for this. I've been thinking about an 'instance' statement that creates an instance of a class: instance mything(MyClass): # attribute assignments go here

Maybe this would be a use for the proposal a while back where:

'statement' name(args): ...

implied

name = 'statement'("name", args, namespace)

then we could have:

namespace foo: ...

and

interface IFoo(IBar): ...

and your

instance my_thing(MyClass): ...

?

Cheers, Ben
