Bug description:Autoloading for namespaces

Description:
------------
While OOP is conquering the world, "a function" is still sometimes enough.

Introduce functionality for autoloading namespaces (of grouped functions,
classes 
etc), in the same manner that exists for autoloading instantiated classes.

(there is a similar feature request here https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?
id=52385&edit=2, the key difference is that while autoloading for functions
could 
get complicated, - for namespaces it is as straightforward as for classes)

Test script:
---------------
function __autoload($namespace)
{
    require $namespace. '.php';
}

//require_once 'myframework/mvc/dispatching.php'; // - want to get rid of
these
use myframework\mvc\dispatching; // - here it gets autoloaded even though
it's not a class.

dispatching\dispatch(...);
