Its namespace support that is needed.  For some reason, the builders of ILE
did not provide them.   With namespaces, all procs are members of a
namespace.  The proc can be called with a qualified namespace name:
    namespace::proc( ) ;

or the "using namespace" stmt resolves unqualified proc names to the using
namespace name.  Kind of like libraries and objects.
