5 provides an interface to register a generic many-to-many mapping between
6 some (namespaced) names and nodes. The goal here is to control the
7 pollution of jamming things into tags or bookmarks (in extension-land) and
8 to simplify internal bits of mercurial: log output, tab completion, etc.
9
10 More precisely, we define a list of names (the namespace) and a mapping of
11 names to nodes. This name mapping returns a list of nodes.
12
13 Furthermore, each name mapping will be passed a name to lookup which might
14 not be in its domain. In this case, each method should return an empty list
15 and not raise an error.
16
17 We'll have a dictionary '_names' where each key is a namespace and
18 its value is a dictionary of functions:
19 'namemap': function that takes a name and returns a list of nodes
