21763d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	help
21773d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
21783d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
21793d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
21803d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
21813d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
21823d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
21833d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.
