Opinions about how disruptive a mandatory backslash for global symbols *in namespaces* would be, are welcome. Keep in mind that making the backslash optional will lead to code breakage (such as for above drop-in replacements, class autoloading etc.) and slower performance (runtime resolution of function calls).
personally not very disruptive, and after a few hours I think it would become second nature.
I'm sure there will be a few comments about this, but.. why not move all internal functions and classes to a php namespace so that everything has to be in a namespace by default - ie no code that isn't in a namespace.
ie php\file_get_contents(__FILE__); instead of \file_get_contents(__FILE__); major major change but nice and strict -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
