What was the argument against '::' again? Jessie Hernandez wrote:Found it... <snip from Jessie> BTW, "::" is out the question (yes, I did try it). It created ambiguity in the case of calling a function in a namespace and calling a method of a class in a namespace: echo a::b::c(); The above can either mean "call function c in namespace b under namespace a" or "call static method c of class b under namespace a". Since this cannot be determined, "::" cannot be used. </snip from Jessie>
