I meant in the vertical respect. In .NET, we don't have one "using"
that pulls in both collections and GUI. We have multiple "using" lines
for each major area.

Regarding the horizontal, I'd rather not say "Cocoa" as it only makes
sense for two frameworks. There wouldn't be a "Cocoa." for AddressBook
or WebKit. I think we could get by without the prefix, but if we
really need or want one, "ObjC" would make more sense:

("Obj-C" is a common abbreviation for "Objective-C" btw)

using ObjC.FoundationKit;
using ObjC.AddressBook;
