Description

The namespace usually has the type String or &str. However, it would be nice to have an encapsulation of that type in order to make the code tighter.

Research direction
Examine the Linera protocol codebase to find all locations where namespace strings are represented as `String` or `&str`. Analyze the patterns used and determine the best encapsulation for a `Namespace` type. Consider how to integrate the new type with existing APIs and ensure minimal disruption. Review any existing type wrapper patterns in the repository for guidance.
