RE: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] allowing multiple namespaces per file plus namespaces with brackets

How about "import" statements? The had effect on current file. How they will behave with your patch? The import in one namespace will affect following namespaces... :) Also this change is inconsistent with renaming "namespace" to "package". Thanks.
