For those that do not understand very well the explanation of jvlad... He's suggesting to change the class struct to be an scope struct, and have a property that tells if it's a namespace or a class, and reuse the implementation of class which already works very well. The nested support is achieved afai understand through the Adjacency List algorithm... can you confirm this to me?

or just leave the organization of things to classes (with long class names with a nice prefix to prevent collissions) and leave it to class_alias() (and equivalent features for functions .. also with the option of a compile time aliasing) to handle the aliasing. this removes the need for namespaces and use statements, while making it possible to make class/function names short (that are long for organizational and collision prevention reasons). regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org
