Faking a Namespace | Chinese Rule of Eight

A container to keep variables and functions. Typically it keeps functions and variables (with the same name) separate.

var greet = "hello";

var greet = "hola";

console.log(greet); // hola

One way to separate them is to use object literals.

var english = {};

var spanish = {};

english.greet = "hello";

spanish.greet = "hola";

Hence these variables become containers to make sure names do not collide with others.
