Vocabulary: common designator for Namespace and Package?

Hi

I'm looking for a good name which covers both package and namespace concepts. 'ScopingEntity' sounds a bit too verbose.

The reason is that today, we have queries like clientClassesOutOfMyPackage, clientClassesOutOfMyNamespace. There are strong similarities between such queries so that it can actually be written once and reused multiple times. Tomorrow, I want such queries to be defined in a trait and injected in both FamixPackage and FamixNamespace. But, I want a single good name to name both Namespace and Package. Container?

I thought about "Container" before reaching the end of your email

Container exists already, so that is not good.

How about Scoper? :)

How about Module? But it has other implications...
