this patch would be really great !
I can remember it has been discussed a lot on the ZE2 mailing list about the
'import' feature.
some people (and I was) would have apreciated another name because this name
was already used in many PHP frameworks to implement a function that loads
classes.
As far as I followed this thread, the agreement was that the import keyword
can be used fine for namespaces if a autoload statement was patched to the
engine ... so everyone would be happy ! :)
I guess your patch gives some function like this one :
set_classautoload_handler("myAutoLoader");
and then, one can implement a function like this:
myAutoLoader($className) {
if (!class_exists($className)) {
include("class/".str_replace("_", "/", $className).".php");
}
}
I'm sure many programmers would apreciate such a feature.
Especially as it whould have no BC issue at all !
