+  # An ArtifactNamespace is a hierarchical dictionary used to manage ArtifactRequirements.
+  # It can be used to have different artifact versions per project
+  # or to allow users to select a version for addons or modules.
+  #
+  # Namespaces are opened using the Buildr.artifact_ns method, most important methods are:
+  # [need]      Used to create a requirement on the namespace.
+  # [use]       Set the artifact version to use for a requirement.
+  # [values_at] Reference requirements by name.
+  # [each]      Return each ArtifactRequirement in the namespace.
+  # The method_missing method for instances provides some syntactic sugar to these.
+  # See the following examples, and the methods for ArtifactRequirement.
+  #
+  # = Avoiding constant polution on buildfile
+  #
+  # Each project has its own ArtifactNamespace inheriting the one from the 
+  # parent project up to the root namespace.
+  # 
+  # Consider the following snippet, as project grows, each subproject 
+  # may need diferent artifact combinations and/or versions. Asigning 
+  # artifact specifications to constants can make it painful to maintain
+  # their references even if using structs/hashes.

+  # = Loading from a yaml file (e. profiles.yaml)
+  #
+  # If your projects use lots of jars (after all we are using java ;) you may prefer
+  # to have constant artifact definitions on an external file.
+  # Doing so would allow an external tool (or future Buildr feature) to maintain
+  # an artifacts.yaml for you.
+  # An example usage is documented on the ArtifactNamespace.load method.
+  #
+  # = For addon/plugin writers & Customizing artifact versions
+  # 
+  # Sometimes users would need to change the default artifact versions used by some
+  # module, for example, the XMLBeans compiler needs this, because of compatibility
+  # issues. Another example would be to select the groovy version to use on all our
+  # projects so that Buildr modules requiring groovy jars can use user prefered versions.
+  #
+  # To meet this goal, an ArtifactNamespace allows to specify ArgumentRequirement objects.
+  # In fact the only diference with the examples you have already seen is that requirements
+  # have an associated VersionRequirement, so that each time a user tries to select a version,
+  # buildr checks if it satisfies the requirements.
+  #
+  # Requirements are declared using the ArtifactNamespace#need method, but again,
+  # syntactic sugar is provided by ArtifactNamespace#method_missing.
+  #
+  # The following example is taken from the XMLBeans compiler module.
+  # And illustrates how addon authors should specify their requirements, 
+  # provide default versions, and document the namespace for users to customize.
+  # 
+  #    module Buildr::XMLBeans
+  #
+  #       # You need to document this constant, giving users some hints
+  #       # about when are (maybe some of) these artifacts used. I mean, 
+  #       # some modules, add jars to the Buildr classpath when its file 
+  #       # is required, you would need to tell your users, so that they
+  #       # can open the namespace and specify their defaults. Of course
+  #       # when the requirements are defined, buildr checks if any compatible
+  #       # version has been already defined, if so, uses it.
+  #       #
+  #       # Some things here have been changed to illustrate their meaning.
+  #       REQUIRES = ArtifactNamespace.for(self).tap do |ns|
+  #
+  #         # This jar requires a >2.0 version, default being 2.3.0
+  #         ns.xmlbeans! 'org.apache.xmlbeans:xmlbeans:jar:2.3.0', '>2'
+  #
+  #         # Users can customize with Buildr::XMLBeans::REQUIRES.stax_api = '1.2'
+  #         # This is a non-flexible requirement, only satisfied by version 1.0.1
+  #         ns.stax_api! 'stax:stax-api:jar:1.0.1'
+  #
+  #         # This one is not part of XMLBeans, but is just another example
+  #         # illustrating an `artifact requirement spec`.
+  #
+  #         ns.need " some_name ->  ar:ti:fact:3.2.5 ->  ( >2 & <4)"
+  #
+  #         # As you can see it's just an artifact spec, prefixed with
+  #         # ' some_name -> ', this means users can use that name to 
+  #         # reference the requirement, also this string has a VersionRequirement
+  #         # just after another ->.
+  #       end
+  #
+  #       # The REQUIRES constant is an ArtifactNamespace instance, 
+  #       # that means we can use it directly. Note that calling 
+  #       # Buildr.artifact_ns would lead to the currently executing context,
+  #       # not the one for this module.
+  #       def use
+  #         # test if user specified his own version, if so, we could perform some
+  #         # functionallity based on this.
+  #         REQUIRES.some_name.selected? # => false 
+  #         
+  #         REQUIRES.some_name.satisfied_by?('1.5') # => false
+  #         puts REQUIRES.some_name.requirement     # => ( >2 & <4 )
+  #
+  #         REQUIRES.artifacts # get the Artifact tasks
+  #       end
+  #
+  #    end 
+  #
+  # A more advanced example using ArtifactRequirement listeners is included 
+  # in the artifact_namespace_spec.rb description for 'Extension using ArtifactNamespace'
+  # That's it for addon writers, now, users can select their prefered version with
+  # something like:
+  #
+  #    require 'buildr/xmlbeans'
+  #    Buildr::XMLBeans::REQUIRES.xmlbeans = '2.2.0'
+  #
+  # More advanced stuff, if users really need to select an xmlbeans version
+  # per project, they can do so letting :current (that is, the currently running
+  # namespace) be parent of the REQUIRES namespace:
+  #
+  #    Buildr::XMLBeans::REQUIRES.parent = :current
+  #
+  # Now, provided that the compiler does not caches its artifacts, it will 
+  # select the correct version. (See the first section for how to select per project 
+  # artifacts).
