Loading only full qualified names will lead to strange bugs.

The suggestion is to require *qualified* names (at least one \ in the call), not to require *fully qualified* names (leading \ and full namespace path). Function name resolution already requires that to reference anything other than a global function, or the exact current namespace. The only scheme I can think of where it would matter is one-function-per-file, like Smarty's plugin loader. # file foo.php namespace Acme\Plugins; function foo() { echo 'Hello world'; } # file bar.php namespace Acme\Plugins; function bar() { foo(); } # will not autoload Compared to "hundreds of lines of existing code will go slowly unless you liberally sprinkle with \", having to remind people not to do that seems like a small price to pay.
