I prototyped most of a non-pattr namespace system using coll etc to keep track of names/instances, and found that as things scaled up, the number of supporting objects and coll sizes required became a problem. Load times were getting seriously long, and coll lookup overhead for calls wasn't ideal. 

A pattr-based system as you describe would certainly fare better, but the supporting object cruft is less than desirable.

And you still have the problem that everything is public.
