That might be the only difficult implementation part.  Shall we copy
all global method into each service... or do we copy it in case of
reference.  What about global<->local name clashes?  Do we overwrite
or is it a collision?

For me as a python programmer the 'method' statement is great... it
give monit a modern touch. (-:

With the new separate namespace code the implementation is easy.

Btw, I am out of office for till the end of the week. I hope I can
leave you all alone for the next days. (-:
