Description

given that the namespace part zapp is delcared, and is a known namespace, I would expect a diagnostic if writing code like:

zapp.constants
zapp.unknownMethod()
zapp.validNamespace.unknownMethod()
etc.

and it did not exist, as the only possiblity here is for a namespace entity (class sub-namespace, or function).

This would give those of us using namespaces a bunch of extra diagnostics to check for typos in our code, and it should be pretty accurate.
