Sure, that would be good, and make th uml helpers clearly be in the
uml namespace.

Another more traditional approach is to use underscored versions, but
exactly because that's the normal thing, things like that may then
clash with the "native architecture" version, so for uml using an
explicit uml namespace might be the better option.
