Is there any progress on this? It's also breaking code like:
 const IMPORT = 3;

[PHP-DEV] import/use last call

2007-10-22 Thread Stanislav Malyshev 

Hi all!

Since many packages (wordpress, propel, horde, phing, etc.) use import 
as either class or function name, and we couldn't find a good solution 
to make it work with import keyword without going into all kinds of 
troublesome hacks, so we are thinking about replacing 'import' keyword 
with 'use' keyword, which is already reserved.


If you know any reason why this may be a problem - please speak now (or 
forever hold your peace :). Please do not answer this email with 
proposals to replace 'namespace' keyword with 'package', etc. - it will 
be offtopic. For this topic please let's discuss only using keyword 
'use' instead of 'import'.

If 'use' is already reserved, it makes the most sense IMO.
