honestly why do you want to prefix iterators? and secondly i'd be just plain stupid to prefix the exception classes.
Bugger, I forgot that those two (iterators and exceptions) are part of SPL for a second. They're so essential, IMHO, that I thought them part of the core somehow :)
AFAIK Marcus spend quite a considerable time during the conf to add prefixes or some other namespacing steps to all global symbols during the php|works conferences except for Iterators and Exceptions. I think for Iterators and Exceptions they are sort of postfix namespaced. I think we should just come up with a "userland global symbol naming guideline" in the manual where we give users a guideline on the kinds of things php may expand to in the global symbol table in the future and what sort of userland naming policy we recommend to not run into trouble. regards, Lukas
