[Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com>] Hey, I just started playing around with the parser to support the namespaces syntax Stig laid out in his RFC. I think I've thought of an ambiguity (with constants) which makes me wonder how feasible the proposed syntax is. Consider the following expression: $test?FOO:BAR:BARBARA Would this mean that the person meant $test?(FOO):(BAR:BARBARA) or $test?(FOO:BAR):BARBARA? Okay, is there another character we can use? Doesn't look that way. Maybe we need to use two characters then? Since both "::" and "->" are taken, "//" is the best suggestion I can come up with.
