Renamespace Devalloc and Que
Move them under the Biz root so that we know they are specific to Biz stuff. Biz is for proprietary stuff that we own. I also had to refactor the bild namespace parsing code because it couldn't handle a namespace with 3 parts. I really need to get that namespace library written and tested.

+## Remote desktop notifications
+
+Lets say we are running a job that takes a long time, maybe we are
+compiling or running a large test suite. Instead of watching the
+terminal until it completes, or flipping back to check on it every so
+often, we can create a listener that displays a popup notification when
+the job finishes.
+
+In one terminal run the listener:
+
+ que pub/notify --then "notify-send '{que}' '{msg}'"
+
+In some other terminal run the job that takes forever:
+
+ runtests ; echo "tests are done" | que pub/notify -
+
+When terminal 2 succeeds, terminal 1 will print "tests are done", then
+call the `notify-send` command, which displays a notification toast in
+Linux with title "`pub/notify`" and content "`tests are done`".
+
+Que paths are multi-producer and multi-consumer, so you can add as many
+terminals as you want.
+
+On macOS you could use something like this (just watch your quotes):
+
+ osascript -e "display notification \"{msg}\" with title \"{que}\""
+
+in place of notify-send.

+
+## Collaborative jukebox
+
+It's surprisingly easy to make a collaborative jukebox.
+
+First start up a music player:
+
+ que --poll pub/music --then "playsong '{msg}'"
+
+where `playsong` is a script that plays a file from data streaming to
+`stdin`. For example [vlc](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/) does this when
+you run it like `vlc -`.
+
+Then, anyone can submit songs with:
+
+ que pub/music song.mp3
