Re: true namespaces, yet another point of view

I share your thoughts and yes namespaces are needed and wanted, but what's implemented at the moment is quite far from what I'd call a namespace. I need and want to see there all language entities including variables, constants, classes, interfaces, and functions. Want to see them all supported by namespaces or nothing. -JV >I disagree here...it is both wanted and and needed.
