			Starting with version 2.1.0 the Rivet command set moved into the 
			<span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet</strong></span></span> namespace.
		</p><p style="width:90%">
			In order to preserve out of the box compatibility with existing scripts,
			Rivet exports commands by default and makes them available for import 
			into any namespace (global namespace included). 
			Rivet's build system can be told not to export the command set by
			passing the switch <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>--disable-rivet-commands-export</strong></span></span> 
			to 'configure'. In the future we may change this option's default.
		</p><p style="width:90%">
			Commands must be imported into another namespace with the command:
		</p><p style="width:90%">
			<span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>namespace import -force ::rivet::*</strong></span></span>
		</p><p style="width:90%">
			Whenever a new application is being developed and compatibility
			issues can be confined within specific files, it is recommended
			that commands be specified with their fully qualified names.
