	 * Code example from Zach Leatherman's blog, based on the YUI namespacer
	 * Returns the namespace specified and creates it if it doesn't exist
	 * <pre>
	 * YAHOO.namespace("property.package");
	 * YAHOO.namespace("YAHOO.property.package");
	 * </pre>
	 * Either of the above would create YAHOO.property, then
	 * YAHOO.property.package
	 *
	 * Be careful when naming packages. Reserved words may work in some browsers
	 * and not others. For instance, the following will fail in Safari:
	 * <pre>
	 * YAHOO.namespace("really.long.nested.namespace");
	 * </pre>
	 * This fails because "long" is a future reserved word in ECMAScript
	 *
	 * @method namespace
	 * @static
	 * @param  {String*} arguments 1-n namespaces to create 
	 * @return {Object}  A reference to the last namespace object created
