The "hack" is for option 2 that I don't favour ... it is a private branch in a
local repo. I could send you diffs, but it would not be pretty.
If we go for option 1, the changes are much, much smaller because
pmLoadNameSpace would call pmLoadASCIINameSpace with the "allow dups" option,
and so I would not have to change pmLoadNameSpace to pmLoadASCIINameSpace

I don't think this would be impacted at all ... this is disjoint from the PMNS
loading functions and their users which where the pain is located.
