Hello Internals,
I’d like to introduce an RFC for discussion: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespace_visibility
which proposes a new visibility modifier: private(namespace).
This idea has appeared several times in previous threads but never progressed to a formal proposal
(from what I could find). My hope is that with defined semantics, examples, and implementation
details, we can evaluate it properly and see whether there’s support for moving forward. Feedback
is very welcome.
Sincerely,
Rob Landers
