This namespaces issues highlights the very fundamental issues with PHP, and
glib, childish responses like yours only serve to score points.
===
The 'very fundamental issue' here is that you're expecting namespaces to
allow things that are not legal in non-namespaced PHP code. The entire
thrust of the internals discussion preceding this has been that preserving
similar resolution rules in namespaced PHP code to those that already exist,
will avoid potential confusion.
And don't tell me to 'grow up' or I'll set my grandchildren on you ;)
