Description

The namespace usually has the type String or &str. However, it would be nice to have an encapsulation of that type in order to make the code tighter.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a new `Namespace` type wrapping a string, implement the necessary traits (e.g., Display, FromStr, Deref), and replace all occurrences of raw strings in namespace positions with the new type.
