Re: Re: namespace separator ideas

Furthermore. The problem with echo 'a::b::c();' would only occur if the code structure would be like this: namespace a { namespace b { function c() { } } class b { function c() { } } } However, should it be legal to give a class the same name as a namespace that's in the same scope? Maybe the code above should simply fail with a message: 'Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class/namespace b' This way we could use '::' :D > BdB>>The above can either mean "call function c in namespace b under > BdB>>namespace a" or "call static method c of class b under namespace a". > BdB>>Since this cannot be determined, "::" cannot be used. > > This provided we support nested namespaces.
