I'll give you an example... PHP Doctrine package has a lot of files, hundreds... there is a way to compile it in a single file, to save some memory usage for including these files. Including a single file is better than include hundreds, as you may know. If you restrict it to a single namespace per file, Doctrine will load the hundreds, and not a single one anymore. So, any effort to compile scripts into a single file will be useless. Lukas Smith can provide more in this subject about how Doctrine works, but I just want to illustrate that you'll break some functionalities that current exists.

well. as all these files would use a single namespace everything will work just fine. By the way, are you sure that all of these files would really be needed on every request? My tests show that autoload + xcache/apc gives better results than loading everything at once -- Alexey Zakhlestin http://blog.milkfarmsoft.com/
