Re: YANP (Yet Another Namespace Proposal)

JH>>- Imports only affect the current file (yes, this has been done!) The problem here is that once you have somewhat developed package - like PEAR packages - which may contain dozens of internal classes, you'd have to have a large import statement block at the beginning of each file using them - or refer to them all by the full name, thus just replacing underscore-notation with colon-notation. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
