The most obvious solution that springs to mind is "::":

  [myObject myNamespace::arg1:... arg2:...];
  [myNamespace::SomeClass description];
  @selector(myNamespace::arg1:arg2:)
  @selector(::arg1:arg2:) // :: indicates nil namespace?

Note that the last two are already legal ObjC today. You're allowed to have a naked colon as part of a selector name. This is completely legal:

@interface Whatever

- (id): (int)a : (int)b : (int)c : (int)d;

@end

[whateverObj : 1 : 2 : 3 : 4];

And to get the selector for this method, you'd write @selector(::::).

Due to this, I'd say that :: is probably not the best choice.

How about backticks? Nobody ever uses those.... :)
