Re: [RFC] Add Directive to Make All Namespaced Function Calls Global

Hi Nick I find it a bit unfortunate that you gave my thread barely any time to be discussed.

This can be achieved in various ways. For example: * Per-file, via declare(), new use syntax, or whatnot. * Globally, through an INI setting. * Via hard cut in a new PHP version, where a relative calls just stop looking up local scope. * By flipping lookup order, as proposed in my last thread. One might be in favor of one approach but not others. Of course, everybody will be in favor of a "free" 2-4% speedup. Hence, a yes vote won't mean much. Ilija
