Nice, this is the first time I've been exposed to this option.  The
last I played with capitalization I tried aliases namespaces without
much luck.  You should set NS_TEMPLATE to false.  We might have to
do NS_CATEGORY too, but I think things will work without doing
NS_CATEGORY and it would be nice to not have initial uppercase.
