Re: my last attempt at sanity with namespaces

Hi,

http://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaceissues Read it and discuss. Let's be clear people: the technical problems in namespaces are limited and solvable. The problems in the political environment surrounding them may not be. Wouldn't politics be a stupid-ass reason to remove namespaces?

It sure would :) "Conflict between namespaced functions and static class methods" #3 is sheer brilliance IMHO. No BC issues for Karsten and friends, nice clear warnings on conflict and an easy way to fix them (I saw the draft patch), no performance hit any place that should matter, and above all - nobody else even thought of approaching the problem from that end in all this time, so kudos to you! Since I've been championing #2 for the last several weeks I obviously wouldn't object to that solution either, but I think #3 has far more elegance. "Resolving access to internal classes" I'll abstain on this one because I don't feel qualified to weigh the issues (ie I neither use nor write third-party dev tools). Thanks Greg! - Steph
