I usually put the requireNamespace in the "init" method (when it's needed). But I agree that the overhead of putting it in myvar would be negligible.

I used myproc because the name "method" isn't used anywhere in XOTcl.
But indeed, myproc seems to indicate that it only works for procs, which is wrong of course.
