I have been wondering for a while why PHP does not officially recognize a \PHP 
namespace.

The inconsistency people have mentioned feels like a fair tradeoff for allowing 
new core classes to be cleanly-named and easier to understand.

And a \PHP namespace would allow RFCs to never need worry about conflicting 
with userland class names again.  

The one thing I would ask the authors: 

- Why limit it to "tightly coupled to the PHP engine?" 
- Why not just say "any new core classes that are approved to use it?"

After all, sometimes a namespace is just a namespace. Seems like a winner to me.
