Turns out what I was thinking about isn't possible with PHP namespaces:
*
*
*<?php

namespace MyPlugin;

require 'my-framework.php';*

Unless my-framework.php also has the *namespace MyPlugin;* declaration, all
it's functions will still be loaded in the global namespace.

PHP 5.3, still a fractal of bad design.
