                      | Refactor is able to add the needed include file on demand.  It can sense when a known symbol isn't in the current scope, and one option is to add the include. 
 It would also be really useful / time-saving / exactly the sort of function VA excels at if it offered to add the necessary namespace qualifiers as well.
 
 So - it detects a symbol is known, but not in scope.
 It could then detect that the scope is known, but in a different name space (vs. not being included at all).
 If in another name space, then one of the refactors could be "qualify name".
 
 A common scenario for me might be to have a bunch of char-type dependent "smart" function overloads in namespace Toolbox::SmartChar.
 
 So when I type:
 
 get_length(pszName)
 
 VA's refactor menu could include:
 "Add Include"
 "Fully Qualify Name"
 "Introduce Namespace into local scope"
 "Introduce Namespace into file scope"
 
 Fully Qualify name would result in:
 
 Toolbox::SmartChar::get_length(pszName)
 
 Add include - does what it always has (and maybe it's a default pref for whether that also fully qualifies the name for me by default?)
 
 Introduce Namespace... add:
 
 using namespace Toolbox::SmartChar;
 
 for me - at various scopes (local being the most local, file being after include files, but before everything else...

                      | This is a good idea, I have added a feature request for a refactoring command to fully qualify a symbol: 
 case=99537
 
 In this case, I mention that Add Include could automatically invoke this command.
 
 We're also considering adding an add using namespace command:
 
 case=32045
 
 I have added your comments about the idea to add 2 different command for local scope and file scope.
