Check wiki for older ideas whose time may have come :)

This came up on bitshares DEX telegram group from a community member

> A client wants to have a game developed, where each player is given a wallet (to handle an in game currency). My question is how to ensure unique account names? Is there an api to an online block explorer where I could query whether an account name is in use? Or would we need to run a full node and use the cli to query the blockchain itself? Or just fire off create user transactions, and if it doesn't work, pick a different name?

This reminded me that account namespacing had been suggested in the past and goign through the WIKI to find the reference, I saw there is a wealth of interesting tidbits here and there worth evaluating/looking into again.

Account namespacing is discussed by @theoreticalbts under Namespacing here:
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core/wiki/architecture

but there's more interesting stuff on that page and other older wiki pages.

@ryanRfox wanna have a look through?
