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

Marcus, You can laugh as you like. I never said that I didn't like rename "namespace" to "package". I asked to wait with decision because the whole concept is not finalized yet. For example "packages" and "multiple namespaces in single file" are inconsistent. Anyway, I prefer developing PHP than argue with your unconstructive emails. Thanks.
