I think so.


The generated documentation from this doesn't correctly show namespaces.

The class is not a child Entry of the namespace as far as I can see.

What I typically do:
- Copy the contents of the namespace to current->program
- in a second pass (so restarting the lexical scanner) parse the body of the
namespace or class (one should do this recursively to support nested classes
in nested namespaces...)

Look at parseCompounds() versus parseMain() in src/pyscanner.l for an
example.
