Module (namespace)

Users may add more and more BASIC functions to MY-BASIC, it will soon cause a naming pollution issue. It's possible to separate BASIC functions into different modules (aka. "namespace" in some other programming languages). Consider using it if you plan to expose a number of functions.

Use mb_begin_module to begin a module with a module name, all functions registered after a module began will be put under that module; use mb_end_module to end the current module. For example:

mb_begin_module(s, "NAMING");

mb_register_func(s, "FOO", _foo); /* Register "foo" in module "naming" */
/* Register other functions */

mb_end_module(s);

After that it's possible to write naming.foo() to call the function.

Use IMPORT @xxx to import a module, and all symbols in that module could be used without the module prefix. For example using foo() for short after import "@naming".

Note this feature is only available with registered C functions for the moment.
