+ * RETURN:      Status
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION: Search a single level of the namespace.  Performs a
+ *              simple search of the specified level, and does not add
+ *              entries or search parents.
+ *
+ *
+ *      Named object lists are built (and subsequently dumped) in the
+ *      order in which the names are encountered during the namespace load;
+ *
+ *      All namespace searching is linear in this implementation, but
+ *      could be easily modified to support any improved search
+ *      algorithm.  However, the linear search was chosen for simplicity
+ *      and because the trees are small and the other interpreter
+ *      execution overhead is relatively high.
