Description

In adding table namespaces to the notable features page, I noticed that we don't have any user manual documentation for them.

It would be good at a minimum to define what a table namespace is, describe the system and default namespace, inform the inspiration in implementation from relational databases (database.table), and that a table is now fully qualified by namespace.table.

Other info?
