Just as curiosa to confirm, yes that worked, rather well :-). That was actually
what I asked for if you think, I just didn't thought of copying over the
obarray.

(setq-local obarray (copy-sequence obarray))
(defvar mysymbol "A SYMBOL")
(defun myfunc () "HELLO")

nysymbol and myfunc were avialable only in that buffer.

Don't know how efficient it is to copy entire obarray, in possibly
serveral buffers, but for the intended purpose, as a buffer-local
namespace works well. Thanks.
