It is not sure, whether this stuff will ever make its way into `grok`.
As I am at the same time decoupling grok.admin from grok and moving it
to another package ('grokadmin'), this new package will be the final
destination of what is currently happening in grok.admin.introspector.
grok.admin.introspector will become grokadmin.introspector.

grokadmin will be a normal grok application like the ones in grokapps.
Therefore I think it is okay to have no namespace here. Into which
namespace should it go then?

I am aware of this habit and do use it as you can for example see in the
grokintrospector package, which makes use of the new zope.introspector
package by external reference. The reason I didn't use an external
reference here is, that I cannot use the 'official' grok package (as,
for example, it still has the grok.admin package, that should vanish,
etc.). I need a modified grok version for testing.

While thinking about it, I might create a new admin-less grok-branch,
and then reference that by svn:external.

Hope that helps you to understand my decisions and thanks for the hints.

Best regards,
