That would be quite useful.  I often leave GNU screen sessions behind,
whose SSH agent sockets are removed when I disconnect, and then, when
I reconnect, all I have to do to be able to ssh into other boxes again
is to set SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the newly-created agent.  With separate
namespaces, there's just no way to get to that agent from the running
screen session.
