Yes, in fact, all over the POOMA source there are commented out namespace
Pooma guards, so I think there were compiler problems some time ago. I
already put some global functions back into Pooma namespace locally, so
maybe there needs to be a point in the future we re-enable all the Pooma
namespace.

Maybe Jeffrey has some suggestions on this, as it breaks backward
compatibility.
