\fBnamespace forget \fR?\fIpattern pattern ...\fR?
Removes previously imported commands from a namespace.
-Each \fIpattern\fR is a qualified name such as
-\fBfoo::x\fR or \fBa::b::p*\fR.
+Each \fIpattern\fR is a simple or qualified name such as
+\fBx\fR, \fBfoo::x\fR or \fBa::b::p*\fR.
Qualified names contain \fB::\fRs and qualify a name
with the name of one or more namespaces.
-Each \fIpattern\fR is qualified with the name of an exporting namespace
+Each \fIqualified pattern\fR is qualified with the name of an
+exporting namespace
and may have glob-style special characters in the command name
at the end of the qualified name.
Glob characters may not appear in a namespace name.
-This command first finds the matching exported commands.
+For each \fIsimple pattern\fR this command deletes the commands of the
+current namespace that were imported from a different namespace.
+For \fIqualified patterns\fR, this command first finds the matching
+exported commands.
It then checks whether any of those those commands
were previously imported by the current namespace.
If so, this command deletes the corresponding imported commands.
