Not at all. This can be done without breaking code. The important part isn't typing the namespace - rather, the freedom to move files around without having to change namespaces.
Even if it were something like:
auto namespace; // for example
it's good enough. Allows me to move directories around, without having to depend on an IDE to keep namespaces in sync. IDEs anyway can only take a good guess at this, if namespace doesn't match the dir name.

So... without and IDE, you'd move code around, let the NS be changed due to being placed in a different directory structure, and then fix namespaces on use-sites manually?

C# does not force OOP on you. You can have a single namespace, single static partial class and spread its members across as many files as you want. So the "ceremony" consists of the following snippet _per file_
namespace NS;
static partial class C {
// Your methods here
}

I am not looking for a scripting solution. C# is a misfit for it. I want all of C#, with terseness and not forcing OOP.
