That is not an example of namespaces, just an object, referenced by the 
name core in the scope chain in which that line is evaluated, containing 
another object, io, which contains a constructor function, File.

You can do all of this with JS_DefineObject and JS_InitClass.

Namespaces are values that can be used on the left of the :: operator to 
qualify a local name or expression in E4X.  They turn up in Edition 4 of 
ECMAScript, aka JavaScript 2, as well.
