The only problem with that line of thinking is that every time your
are calling that variable you are adding the extra steps.  This is
impeding on performance of both compiling and maybe even execution.

Java people love getters and setters.  :-)  I think namespaces are in
order though.   A place to group variables (const and var, etc)
though.  This way we can just point to this mechanism in stead of
having class creep.
