If for some reason the namespace clashes with a vendor, or vica versa, or a vendor package "hides" an additional namespace in the package and overrides the declares that way, it could cause a lot of problems. Would it be an idea to first establish the concept of a package within PHP, rather than deducting it based off a namespace? If packages would be a thing in PHP, other than just a namespace, package private could also be implemented as visibility modifier for inheritance and class visibility. Regards, Lynn van der Berg
