What problem does the namespace feature solve?
✍: Guest
Multiple providers of libraries might use common global identifiers causing a name collision when an application tries to link with two or more such libraries. The namespace feature surrounds a library’s external declarations with a unique namespace that eliminates the potential for those collisions.
This solution assumes that two library vendors don’t use the same namespace identifier, of course.

Are there any new intrinsic (built-in) data types? Yes. The ANSI committee added the bool intrinsic type and its true and false value keywords. 2012-03-23, 3026👍, 0💬
