 *
 *      Given a qualified name specifying a command, variable, or namespace,

 *      a pointer to the namespace that contains the item. A qualified name
 *      consists of the "simple" name of an item qualified by the names of
 *      an arbitrary number of containing namespace separated by "::"s. If
 *      the qualified name starts with "::", it is interpreted absolutely
 *      from the global namespace. Otherwise, it is interpreted relative to
 *      the namespace specified by cxtNsPtr if it is non-NULL. If cxtNsPtr
 *      is NULL, the name is interpreted relative to the current namespace.
 *
 *      A relative name like "foo::bar::x" can be found starting in either
 *      the current namespace or in the global namespace. So each search
 *      usually follows two tracks, and two possible namespaces are
 *      returned. If the procedure sets either *nsPtrPtr or *altNsPtrPtr to
 *      NULL, then that path failed.
 *
 *      If "flags" contains TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY, the relative qualified name is
 *      sought only in the global :: namespace. The alternate search
 *      (also) starting from the global namespace is ignored and
 *      *altNsPtrPtr is set NULL. 
 *
 *      If "flags" contains TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY, the relative qualified
 *      name is sought only in the namespace specified by cxtNsPtr. The
 *      alternate search starting from the global namespace is ignored and
 *      *altNsPtrPtr is set NULL. If both TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY and
 *      TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY are specified, TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY is ignored and
 *      the search starts from the namespace specified by cxtNsPtr.
 *
 *      If "flags" contains CREATE_NS_IF_UNKNOWN, all namespace
 *      components of the qualified name that cannot be found are
 *      automatically created within their specified parent. This makes sure
 *      that functions like Tcl_CreateCommand always succeed. There is no
 *      alternate search path, so *altNsPtrPtr is set NULL.
 *
 *      If "flags" contains FIND_ONLY_NS, the qualified name is treated as a
 *      reference to a namespace, and the entire qualified name is
 *      followed. If the name is relative, the namespace is looked up only
 *      in the current namespace. A pointer to the namespace is stored in
 *      *nsPtrPtr and NULL is stored in *simpleNamePtr. Otherwise, if
 *      FIND_ONLY_NS is not specified, only the leading components are
 *      treated as namespace names, and a pointer to the simple name of the
 *      final component is stored in *simpleNamePtr.
 *
 * Results:
 *     It sets *nsPtrPtr and *altNsPtrPtr to point to the two possible
 *     namespaces which represent the last (containing) namespace in the
 *     qualified name. If the procedure sets either *nsPtrPtr or *altNsPtrPtr
 *     to NULL, then the search along that path failed.  The procedure also
 *     stores a pointer to the simple name of the final component in
 *     *simpleNamePtr. If the qualified name is "::" or was treated as a

 * NamespaceImportCmd --
 *
 *      Invoked to implement the "namespace import" command that imports
 *      commands into a namespace. Handles the following syntax:
 *
 *          namespace import ?-force? ?pattern pattern...?
 *
 *      Each pattern is a namespace-qualified name like "foo::*",
 *      "a::b::x*", or "bar::p". That is, the pattern may include the
 *      special pattern matching characters recognized by the "string match"
 *      command, but only in the command name at the end of the qualified
 *      name; the special pattern characters may not appear in a namespace
 *      name. All of the commands that match the pattern and which are
 *      exported from their namespace are made accessible from the current
 *      namespace context. This is done by creating a new "imported command"
 *      in the current namespace that points to the real command in its
 *      original namespace; when the imported command is called, it invokes
 *      the real command.
 *
 *      If an imported command conflicts with an existing command, it is
 *      treated as an error. But if the "-force" option is included, then
 *      existing commands are overwritten by the imported commands.
 *      
 * Results:
 *      Returns TCL_OK if successful, and TCL_ERROR if anything goes wrong.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *      Adds imported commands to the current namespace. If anything goes
 *      wrong, this procedure returns an error message in the interpreter's
 *      result object.

 *      to register callback scripts. Handles the following syntax:
 *
 *          namespace inscope name arg ?arg...?
 *
 *      The "namespace inscope" command is much like the "namespace eval"
 *      command except that it has lappend semantics and the namespace must
 *      already exist. It treats the first argument as a list, and appends
 *      any arguments after the first onto the end as proper list elements.
 *      For example,
 *
 *          namespace inscope ::foo a b c d
 *
 *      is equivalent to
 *
 *          namespace eval ::foo [concat a [list b c d]]
 *
 *      This lappend semantics is important because many callback scripts
 *      are actually prefixes.
 *
 * Results:
 *      Returns TCL_OK to indicate success, or TCL_ERROR to indicate
 *      failure.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *      Returns a result in the Tcl interpreter's result object.

 *      the ResolvedNsName structure used to hold the namespace reference.
