There have indeed been a couple of discussions of this recently. Try searching for threads on a list archive using terms such as "package visibility", "namespace visibility", "private class", and the related notion of "friend class" / "friend function". I wonder if we should maintain a Usenet-style FAQ for this list, to make it easier to find what has previously been discussed on a topic. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP] Ah yes, I've seen them in the request bugs. https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52297 It was suggested that a prototype be made, I have provided one, and it should pass basic demos. I just didn't want to take it further than that unless it generate some interest.

I was thinking more of recent threads on this list, such as these: http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=144608749903477&w=2 http://marc.info/?t=144720154700001&r=1&w=2 http://marc.info/?t=144639397900001&r=1&w=2 There are probably more if you search around, and a couple of people do seem to be working on prototypes.
