* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar):
* tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of
2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the
varname resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix
will have to wait for Tcl9.
* generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no
simple way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea
of variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name
in the namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion
for existence.
* tests/namespace.c (namespace-17.10): testing for interference
between varname caching and name resolver.
