I think the current syntax may be clearer: <?php namespace blah; include 'file/with/foo/namespace.php'; use foo/something; $f = function() use ($x) {} ?> <?php namespace blah; include 'file/with/foo/namespace.php'; use foo/something; $f = function() { use $x; } ?> The second version requires a visual re-parsing, the first is clear at a glance. In addition, if support for namespaced variables was ever introduced, confusion would abound. Thanks, Greg P.S. happy new year (I'm a bit slow)
