Re: AW: [PHP-DEV] A rebuttal to Re: RFC: Dropping Namespace

Hi Greg, How about this: any non-namespaced file that uses "use" statements is implicitly put into the __php__ namespace (or whatever other name is chosen, or having the namespace name be the path of the file)? With this, "use" will never import any symbols into the global namespace. Regards, Jessie Ford, Mike wrote:

The suggestion to make "namespace __php__;" implicit is very interesting, but would defeat its purpose, which is to separate declarations from use.

Oh, I missed that little wrinkle -- I did say I was only skimming! I guess it could still be done, but at somewhat greater cost in the engine than I was imagining, which probably isn't worthwhile.
