"namespace" has a specific meaning in R associated with packages, but I 
think you are using it more generally.

The search() list in R controls what is visible when executing commands 
in the console.  You can attach and detach things from there to control 
visibility.

You can also control the environment of a function, so that searches for 
non-local variables go where you want.
