here are three quotes from : 
[Lidin] Lidin,Serge 2002 "Inside Microsoft .NET IL Assembler" pp
133-134
(Chapter 6 Namespaces and Classes)

I qutote : 

"In ILAsm, a class is always referenced by it's full name, even if it
is referenced from within the same namespace. This makes class
referencing context independant."
[Lidin]

But that does not mean the declaration contains the full name!

Now here is the interesting bit :

"ILAsm does not allow dotted names as classnames, but you can bypass
this restriction by quoting the dotted name" [Lidin]

well  that looks good, just what we need

.class public 'this.Has.a.funky.name'
{

}

he goes on to state :
"But if you disassemble the module, you'll find that the left part of
the dotted name of the class has migrated to the namspace, courtesy of
the metadata emission API" [Lindin]

.namespace 'this.Has.a.funky'
{
   .class public Name
   {
   }
}

I will test this out,

mike
