Hi Stas, Was your proposal to do this for name resolution: <?php namespace blah; $a = new Exception; 1) if for blah::Exception exists, use it 2) try to autoload blah::Exception 3) fail instead of having the internal resolution? I would support this, and am sorry if I mischaracterized your proposal in solution to issue #2. I really thought I was proposing the thing you all worked out at ZendCon, it was a simple misunderstanding on my part. Greg
