Well, while I'm sitting here thinking about it, let's try another
concept for selector namespaces:

  class Array
    def to_csv for FasterCSV
      # ...
    end
  end

  class String
    def to_a for FasterCSV
  end

  "".to_a    # will use Ruby's
  [].to_csv  # NoMehtodError

  space FasterCSV

  "".to_a  # will use FasterCSV's

Anything defined within FasterCVS will use the FasterCSV space by
default, in which case you'd have to say "space Ruby" to get access to
pure.

Space selections are reset per file.
