Re: DateTime improvement

I don't think it would be ok to move just DateTimeImmutable to the namespace. There were proposal to move all the php functions and classes in namespaces, so that for example str_replace() could be \Str\replace() and array_map() could be \Array\map() and so on.

What about putting the new DateTimeImmutable (or whatever it will be called) into a PHP namespace? Something like \PHP\Foobar\DateTimeImmutable Is it generally planned to use namespaces for PHP classes? In my opinion it would be nice if the SPL and other classes would be put into such a namespace, too. Are there any plans to do that?

Of course, I have no idea if anyone in userspace is using

DateTimeImmutable... Well, it seems unlikely, unless he is Yoda or French. I mean, in English, it is common to put the adjective in front of the noun, isn't it?

Class names aren't particularly subject, too strictly, to English grammar rules. Besides, the coding standards [1] dictate the class name should be prefixed with the 'parent set' (e.g. extension name), which in this case is not "Immutable".
