I vote for option 3. http://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaceissues Seems like the best fit all around. Steph Fox wrote:
Hannes, Lester...
Can we please start small and then incrementally add more features? Lets start with classes only in namespaces in 5.3.
The problem with that statement is that if it is used to ignore the other problems, then at some point it may be necessary to re-write all the new namespace code simply to allow additional features to be added!
tough luck. If it needs total rewrite in the future then it needs total rewrite now to support the additional features anyway.
That was my argument for the entire first half of this week. If either of you had looked at Greg's latest idea, you'd know that it removes that problem entirely. Please go and look at his proposals at http://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaceissues, and then vote? Thanks, - Steph
