RE: [PHP-DEV] Simple Namespace Proposal

PHP itself (without classes) hasn't compile-time constants (and variables). You can define constants only in run-time using define(). This is the reason why this proposal don't try to use constants and variables in namespaces. So ithis approach is absolutely consistent. BTW you can "import" not only namespace but also class from namespace. <?php namespace A::B; class Foo { const C = 5; } <?php import A::B::Foo; echo Foo::C; I would like to start with this "simple" proposal and may be extend it with constants and variables in the future.
