Do you know such an application?
I'm a aware of systemd which uses CLONE_NEWNET/NS to implement security features.

We could add a directory like /proc/<pidX>/ns/proc/ which would contain everything
from /proc/<pidX inside the namespace>/.

This needs definitely more discussion and must not solved by ad-hoc solutions.
