Bear in mind that the current proposal is only about an agreement to allow the use of PHP namespace in the core. @Benjamin: You suggest to skip the examples and arguments regarding poor design/naming decisions with Reflection API ? Those examples are put in the RFC to help understand the argumentation and the result of this RFC should be the agreement that any future RFC proposing an introduction of the tightly coupled with the PHP engine symbol (and to mention the ones with PhpToken and PhpAttribute and family could be perfect candidates) should not worry for the proposal to be rejected because of the use of PHP namespace in core symbols.
