Is there a way to load a file within an existing namespace, so that the

If you read the file, and then eval it in the desired scope, it has the
effect of loading it into that scope.

There is some complexity/problem with this but
the details elude me. Came up when implementing
the require 'foo', MyNamespace thingy.

Note to self, Enter does not do the same thing
as Ctrl-z.

The problem was that extending existing classes
etc. would cause issues since they would be also
enveloped in the new namespace. So this is only
an issue for general-purpose programming.
