Discovered it, thanks for the pointer.

Well under the hood you still need about the same code. In the current
patch version I have, that would mean forgetting about a ~20 lines long
function and keeping the other two, 10+30 lines about.

Now if someone has a idea on how to have a single routine that knows how
to deal with any object type and change its namespace, I'm all ears, and
willing to have a try at it. Coding in C is for me a twice a year
exercise, so whatever I come up with will be... improvable, I fear.
