Exactly.

IMO, that's exactly the problem with the way Delphi for .NET does
namespaces. It doesn't give the developer any choice because
something that should be logical is coupled to the physical.

So how would you propose that we preserve the implicit built-in make
logic without having some physical mapping? Remember, removing that
functionality is not an option. This implementation was certainly not
done without a lot of thought and consideration. There is so many
things that folks either take for granted or are blithly unaware are
happening behind the scenes that changing the subtle sematics of them
would really hurt the language and the productivity.
