Guys it is sensless to discuss the namespace separator. The only possibility is \ and that's not because anybody at some meeting liked it. It is the only character that is freely available as in not conflicting with anything we have right now and still available on keyboards. If anybody disagrees i suggest you first come up with a patch for the lexer - thanks.
Why is "\" the only available character? Right now my patch is using ":" and it's working great (though against 5.1). Is ":" used in some other way in PHP 6?
It clashes with the : in the ternary. -Rasmus
