JH>>- Classes may not contain colons (no change here), BUT class name references
JH>>CAN contain colons (this is KEY!).
JH>>- All imports are done at compile time.
JH>>- Imports only affect the current file (yes, this has been done!)

The problem here is that once you have somewhat developed package - like 
PEAR packages - which may contain dozens of internal classes, you'd have 
to have a large import statement block at the beginning of each file using 
them - or refer to them all by the full name, thus just replacing 
underscore-notation with colon-notation.
