You can use zendspace. (Gregory) If you want me to get Johannes patch
and convert it to zendspace, just tell me.
So it goes like this:
PHP Group: "Good news everyone! PHP now has zendspaces!".
PHP users: "WTF???"
PHP Group: "It's like a namespace -- but, you know, the PHP way."
PHP users: "Awesome!"
Alternately:
PHP Group: "Good news everyone! PHP now has namespaces!".
PHP users: "Awesome!"
PHP users: "Wait.. WTF? These don't act like namespaces - where are
the braces?"
PHP users: "These act more like... Java packages. Why are they called
namespaces?"
I would suggest that the world at large will react in the same
fashion as this list. Using a name already in use by the most popular
programming language in the world is going to create the expectation
that the feature works in the same way. Using a different name will
not create that false expectation, nor the subsequent confusion.
