The namespace is accessible via the YR_RULE struct:
https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara/blob/master/libyara/include/yara/types...
Yet is nowere to be found in the C API documentation.
http://yara.readthedocs.io/en/v3.5.0/capi.html#c.YR_RULE
That's why I kept it out of the scope. I can obviously add it but we're
not sure whether they will expose it differently in future versions of Yara.
Drat... Maybe it would be worth asking them if it's just a documentation
issue, or it is really private. In any case, it is not a big issue at
the moment.

We surely can do. I'll see what can be done. Maybe an optional parameter
"namespace" in the yara_load API.
Right, that is what I was thinking about.
