Import macros into global namespace

Is it possible to import a library of macros into the main namespace? 
We'd like to do this using Configuration.autoImport().

Here's the issue. For our app, we have a library of macros and a bunch 
of variables in the datamodel. We also have a few directives in the 
datamodel. We're currently forced to do this:

${myvariable}
[@mynamespace.mymacro/]
[@mydirective/]

It's gotten confusing and frustrating for our designers because 
sometimes they have to use the namespace and sometimes not.

It doesn't seem possible to put the datamodel into the same namespace as 
the library. If I do this:

HashMap rootMap = new HashMap();
HashMap myVariables = new HashMap();
myVariables.put("foo", "bar");
rootMap.put("mynamespace", myVariables);

then ${mynamespace.foo} yields a "not found" error. If I get rid of the 
library autoimport then it works ok.
