Re: [RFC][DISCUSSION] Deprecation of fallback to root scope

Also happens rather rarely, in my impression, since you'd have to a) run mbstring.func_overload which you can't remove and b) still need non-overloaded string functions. And if you are in this rare situation, it's usually better to have explicitly-named function, so that you know what you are dealing with, not relying on subtle details of how names are resolved vs. namespaces. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
