Namespace resolution in libinterp

[Andrew Janke]

Hi, Octave maintainers,

I'm interested in writing a patch for Octave to support Java-style 
syntax for invocation of Java constructors and static methods, so you 
can write, for example:

    jstr = java.lang.String('foo');
    prop = java.lang.System.getProperty('foo');

instead of:

    jstr = javaObject('java.lang.String', 'foo');
    prop = javaMethod('getProperty', 'java.lang.System', 'foo');

This would make Java objects more usable, and increase compatibility 
with Matlab.

Can someone point me to the place in the Octave code (probably in 
libinterp?) where it handles namespace resolution, so I can use that as 
a starting point?

Cheers,
Andrew
