Hi Gopal,

I am aware of the possibility of having System there.
Without having read the spec, I think the algorithm for "where to attach the
A" is:

having:

namespace N1.N2.N3.N4,...,Nn
{
    using N;
}

first try to attach N to N1.N2....Nn and see if that makes sense (namespace
exists). if so, this is the correct binding.
if not, drop Nn and try to attach N to N1.N2,...,Nn-1
and so on.
if all of them fail, then N is not attached to anything (your System
example).

I might look into the code and fix it, but correct me if my understanding is
wrong (because it is just intuition)
