[Bro] Question About Namespaces

[Johanna Amann]

Hi Arash,

it will always be changed for all scripts.

As for redef enum - it actually is also necessary for record types (you 
will find a lot of "redef record" in Bro scripts. However, it would 
probably be possible to get rid of those as the parser should, in 
theory, be able to determine the type by itself. I did not write that 
code, but I think it is just a Bro syntax quirk that might also make 
writing parsing a bit easier.
