The 3 proposals all have this same pattern in their call:
xxx_yyy::zzz() but only two need an own namespace.

Following the repository organisation of PEAR a new namespace would
indeed require an own folder. TYPO3 doesn't follow this PEAR pattern.

PEAR:
-----------------------------------
Category_Package
Category/Package.php
Category/Package/packagehelper.php  // case !!!!

still similar to PEAR:
-----------------------------------
t3lib_div
t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php

not PEAR but confusing:
-----------------------------------
tx_ccdebug_pi1
ext/cc_debug/pi1/class.tx_ccdebug_pi1.php


no extra folder necessary but nice:
-----------------------------------

ect_div
ext/ect_div/class.ect_div.php
ect/class.ect_div.php

ext_div
ext/ext_div/class.ext_div.php

tx_div
ext/div/class.tx_div.php

If coredevs would not give others the necessary space to work in, they
will not be surprised if others can't support the project ... That
depends on the targets they have ....
