[RFC] Namespace syntax decision

Hello Internals, we all were asked to stop discussing syntax of namespaces as we were told that we would decide after the namespace functionality was fully implemented. Now I think that the functionallity is pretty much settled we should revisit the syntax. We all have been very patient so far. Anyway here goes my take on it: PHP is very close to Java and C++ in terms of Syntax. And many of our users are familiar with one or even both of them. Also we have a tendency to especially take syntax from those two or be in line with those two languages. That said I see two ways: 1) namespace foo { } 2) package foo; I favor 1) if we allow namespace nesting and 2) if not. The current way of nesting is very confusing: namespace foo; namespace bar; Best regards, Marcus
