But there's no such ability at this time, which makes it pretty unsuitable for the 90%, imho. >> I don't think it works well at all for the unwashed masses that just >> want to get the job done with minimum fuss -- which is what PHP was >> originally all about :-) > > Unwashed masses did 10 years fine without it :) So we don't need namespaces at all? :-) If we need them, shouldn't they be useful to the 90% instead of only the 10%? Or is this an "advanced feature" that only the 10% should even use? Shall we document it as such? -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
