+1 for putting namespaces on the backburner and taking the time to
get it 100% right ...
What's "100% right"? Any proposals (besides braces)?
apparently people keep 'flogging this horse to death' because they are not
convinced by your wisdom with regard to this decision - they may be idiots (me included)
I never talked about "idiots". I know smart people can have different opinions, and - oh horror! - some may have wrong or mistaken opinions too, and that doesn't make them idiots. How about you?
actually that is not true - a halfbaked concept is pretty much garanteed to give you
and the users of your product more headaches than no implementation at all. and
This concept, however, is not "halfbaked".
besides possibly having to type a little less, there seems to be nothing namespaces would
give us [in it's current form] that we cannot achieve already ... with the bonus that
Yes there is. More structured and clean code.
conversly - when namespace functionality is released, every developer will be confronted
with any problems they might bring with them, at some stage, because there will be third
party code out there that uses namespaces (code which for the sake of argument one would
be required to use under some circumstances).
These problems being?
