This is a good solution. 3 extra characters for each class have not
hurt spl users (no reports of SPL-related carpal tunnel syndrome yet,
right? :). It will make it simple to figure out whether a class is
internal (does it start with "Php?") and will eliminate all future
debate. I have no qualms renaming the PEAR packages that I maintain
that start with PHP_ if this decision is made.
I am not sure I like this idea of prefixing all the classes with PHP_.
Having PHP_TextIterator seems kind of wonky to me. Besides, I don't
really see any SPL_ prefixed classes, they are all either *Iterator or
*Object. I could argue that Perl or Python don't do this prefixing, but I
guess they do have namespace support.
Exactly, and that's the problem. We aren't dealing with 'no namespace
support', we're dealing with 'no namespace support just yet but we'll have
it in the foreseeable future'. We have to deal with both situations right
now.
