New Comment:
I was just about to post the exact same feature suggestion. I'm using PHP 5.4
RC8
after 2 years of programming Ruby (I have a project that better lends itself to
PHP template-orientated nature), and this was one of the first things I tried
to
do, reference a resource one level up in the namespace hierarchy. Luckily, my
namespace isn't too deep, but I can imagine some of the larger frameworks which
have 3-6+ level deep namespaces could really benefit from this.
I'm surprised none of the dev's have commented on this.

very nice, i really like it
it would be nice too having * on import
works only if __autoload or spl_autoload_register is used, otherwise triggers
an error
use MyNS\Test\*; // imports all classes in the "Test" namespace
use MyNS\Test\**; // imports all the namespace hierarchy (including
subpackages) from namespace Test
__autoload($className, $importAll = FALSE, $importDeep = FALSE)
{
// handle * as a full dir import
// ** imports subdirs too
}
in my framework i need to put
use \FW\String;
use \FW\Int;
use \FW\Float;
use \FW\Vector;
use \FW\Dictionary;
use \FW\Types;
etc in every file...

Description:
------------
It would be nice to have relative namespace support to keep code clean and
flexible.
When inside of a namespace, it would be nice to have some directory-path-like
option like '..'.
Test script:
---------------
namespace MyNs\Some\Path\Going\A\Long\Way
{
class GoClass extends ..\..\Short\Way\GoClass // <<
{}
}
