RSART- namespace support

MISRA C++ rule 7-2-1 and our company's coding standards require us to keep everything outside of main from the global namespace.

RSART needs to do something other rational products do: allow some namespace sterotype to be optionally applied to packages (make packages mean something) and carry that through into the code generation engine.

If source (sub)directories need (RSART implementation) to be aligned with namespace concept that would probably be a good (serendipitous) enhancement as well.

    I very much agree that support for namespaces would be useful. For example, it will allow you to use shorter and more readable names in the model since risk for name clashes are much reduced.
    We have received this RFE from more than one customer, and have analyzed its impact. Unfortunately this is not something that is quickly done.
    Also, for backwards compatibility reasons we need to still support the use of packages that do not translate into namespaces. We will continue to investigate this area, but it will not be implemented in the near future.
