Does compiler itself support namespace files

Hi. As the title says really. :)

How strict is the fpc team about naming convensions in the 
<fpc-src>/compiler/ directory? Could namespace (dotted files) be used 
inside that directory?

I see FPC is starting to use it in the FCL code, which is nice.

On a side note:
   I know compiler/dbg*.pas are debugger code, but then there is
   also "dwarfbase.pas", which I guess should technically be
   renamed to dbgdwarfbase.pas - if the naming convension should
   strictly be followed?


Regards,
   Graeme
