Ah! It wasn't a dream, but it wasn't for ELS either. It's in your
personal webpage:
https://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~monnier/hopl-4-emacs-lisp.pdf
"While Emacs Lisp was designed from the beginning as a real
programming language rather than a
tiny ad-hoc extension language, it was not designed for łprogramming
in the largež as witnessed
by the lack of module or namespace system.
Yet, the Emacs Lisp side of Emacs is now a rather large system, so in
order to avoid name conflicts,
Emacs Lisp relies on a poor man’s namespace system,"

The world isn't ready for your genius,
