Personally, I like the idea of moving EVERYTHING to PHP\ at once and building in an automatic fallback, so an app could do: <?php $dt = new DateTime(...); // uses builtin DataTime via fallback to PHP namespace Or: <?php class DateTime { ... } $mydt = new DateTime(...); // Uses user supplied DateTime $pdt = new PHP\DateTime(...); // Uses builtin DateTime Possibly paired with the ability to import a NS to root: <?php use PHP as \; $pdt = new DateTime(...); // Uses builtin DateTime from root namespace I don't feel strongly about any of this though, so I'm not personally inclined to push any RFC to make it happen. -Sara
