Re: Simple Namespace Proposal

Hi Dmitry, thanks for your clarifications. I like your concept very much, as a PHP user, however, I am a little concerned about some ambiguities your concept introduces. I feel this might be a source of error for many programmers, especially less experienced ones. > In any case you won't use classes and namespaces with the same full names. IMHO this should be a fatal error, at least a warning (something like "potential ambiguity between funtion foo() in namespace a and abstract method foo() in class a". Otherwise adding to an existing program could inadvertedly alter its behaviour. > Right. You can have namespace UTF8 and function strlen() in it. This kind of "overriding" would make an interesting feature! However, if a programmer creates - by coincidence - a method with the name of an built-in PHP function, he alters the program's behaviour; from another point of view, this is something that should be forbidden, as I think it could be a source of hard-to-find errors.
