[Hat] Proposal, Heirarchical module structure for tools

[Thomas Davie]

I have a feeling I'm about to get shouted down because Hat is not  
just a debugger... But...

The Debug. namespace already exists, why not Debug.Hat?

Directly in response to Neil - we do need Hat in the structure  
whichever we choose - what if there's another Debugging/Tracing tool  
with an Observe module?
