AW: [PHP-DEV] Basic Namespace Requirements

Hi, > Hello Jessie, [...] > you should simply try to come up with a working > patch using a working separator which can clearly > only be "\". Why is \ the only character that could work? Because it's unused? What about for examole the tilde (~) or the exclamation mark (!)? - both of them are prefixes only, so neither a!b nor a~b will conflict. On the backslash: It'll be a bitch in places where you need the class name as a string (reflection) because \ needs to be escaped withing a string. Think: How many backslashes do you need in a regular expression using double quotes to represent a single backslash (try to answer this question without trying it out. Was it two? Three? four? Six?) - Timm
