Re: my last attempt at sanity with namespaces

Hi, Conflict between namespaced functions and static class methods: I think that #4 solution is the best one. If it will be accepted, it would be possible to extend namespaces in PHP6. For example, it would be possible to allow mixing namespaces and classes with same names, and disallow only mixing namespaced functions / static class methods. PHP 5.3 is too nearly for such a change, but in PHP6 you can make static class methods the same thing as functions and namespaced functions, with one additional feature for them (and maybe namespaced functions) - support for self::, static:: and parent::. This way, it will be also possible to add support for having both dynamic method and static method with the same name, but e.g. other parameters (like String::substring($string, 4, 2) and $string->substring(4, 2)). Resolving access to internal classes: I like your solution, it's much better than current resolution rules. Janusz Lewandowski
