A default PHP > constant would be a better way to handle such cases There is no reason to add such a constant for language level features, if you REALLY such a feature then a define() call is all you need: define('NS_CONSTANT', '\\'); I do not see a reason to add such a thing just because the separator is a backslash which most people belive is a escape character in all cases outside string interpolation. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
