As we're getting really close to 5.3, I would suggest to removenamespaces from this release as we're simply not done with even agreeingon how things should work. PHP 5.3 has many other cool things, and leaving namespaces for PHP 6 means we're actually introducing functionality there as well (for the folks that don't care about Unicode). We've done with namespaces for a loooong time, and they've never really been *required*. Many people won't be able to use it any way as they have to support older PHP versions in their code base as well. PHP 6 is a much more natural switch for something like this.If we *absolutely *have* to* have namespaces, then we should go with the"Namespaces without functions/constants" proposal, with some tweaks.However, I still think it's not ready enough to put even that into 5.3.
My thoughts exactly. I realize it's a bold move, but it's a much better alternative than the fuzz about an implementation that doesn't work, or is incomplete, or needs to be broken in the future to add new stuff.
