In short: I'm for option #1 - and I would have to disagree with "con 1" there -- we shouldn't give a damn about what people did with unreleased code. As for the internal classes resolving, I am not too keen on slowing down internal classes access. Obviously, this is only going to be ab issue if you use namespaces though. The bad thing I find about it is that this resolving is done during runtime -- but I suppose that'd happen anyway because of autoload(). A bit on the reasoning against option #2: Option #2 introduces a new concept yet again. Namespaces are already a new concept, and trying to make it even more confusing wouldn't serve anybody. regards, Derick -- HEAD before 5_3!: http://tinyurl.com/6d2esb http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org
