Extension:Whitelist Namespaces

What can this extension do?
If you have a private wiki, this extension can be used to make a namespace public. This is very similar to Manual:$wgWhitelistRead just it works on entire namespaces instead. I noticed there seemed to be a lot of user authorization extensions, but they seemed to be much more complicated than they needed to be. Please note this is my first extension, its fairly simple, but its quite possible I made a mistake somewhere, so ymmv. Please also read Security issues with authorization extensions before using this extension.

Note: If you have any comments, questions, suggestions etc, please don't hesitate to contact me. (on my talk or by email).
