Hi Yevgen!

If memory serves, the "ugly" former way you described is
more-or-less in line with the recommended policy of GAP.
I forgot who wrote the email (Steve Linton I think?)
or when (in the past year I think) but I think the
namespace issue has been discussed at one point on
one of the GAP lists by someone. I know this is next to useless
information but perhaps someone else who remembers better than I
can fill in more details.
