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. -Mike -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
