If the name is used as the target of a function or class statement, this
will be true.
+ For example::
+
+ >>> table = symtable.symtable("def some_func(): pass", "string", "exec")
+ >>> table.lookup("some_func").is_namespace()
+ True
+
Note that a single name can be bound to multiple objects. If the result
is ``True``, the name may also be bound to other objects, like an int or
list, that does not introduce a new namespace.
