So what about the #base idea?
To be honest, it's the part I like the least. I believe that the other part of your proposal probably already covers 90% of the cases where you would like a shortcut for a namspace, and it is easy to implement it in an efficient way. The #base idea is a bit harder to implement and would add some complexity to the parser which is at the moment already far too slow, big and complicated, and also still has a lot of bugs. After we have gotten the parser into shape, maybe then we can start thinking about adding such features, but even then I would try to keep the code as efficient and simple as possible.
