hidden namespace?

hogi — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 16:08:10 GMT

hidden variables are very useful:
when the user puts "__" in front of the variable name, the variable won't show up via show symbols();

Sometimes I want to store mote than just a single value - and use a namespace.
Is there a possibility to hide a namespace?

I found this wish:
But it got archived some years ago ...

delete symbols();
x=5;
_x = 5;
__x=5;

__ns = New Namespace("ns");

show symbols();
get namespace names()

Is it possible to re-activate the wish.
Or better write a new one?

@vince_faller 's wish is open for voting again.
