/**
 * A `Namespace` refers to a space of nameable things like macros or lengths,
 * which can be `set` either globally or local to a nested group, using an
 * undo stack similar to how TeX implements this functionality.
 * Performance-wise, `get` and local `set` take constant time, while global
 * `set` takes time proportional to the depth of group nesting.
