"Why was this done?"
I don't have a clue, but probably because larger code is more organized this way,
one can have same name classes in different namespaces, so that the same name classes
don't mix(wrongly) - which is in the long run for new - larger apps - probably better.

Alboni has a point here also, but this is an old thing probably from always mostly concerning Label...
When one starts to rearanging controls, some get rearanged and don't compile properly.
But i think this was fixed in new versions with subclassing Label... from control also for chaining purposses,
so even if controls gets rearanged - it should compile properly.

The old code still might not compile because opening it with new layout editor would throw Upp:: prefix back again.
One possibility for older non-compatible code with new Upp:: thing would probably be compiling it with command line tool
or the thing like zsoft suggests.

Aha... for bazaar.
