If you are concerned about libraries modifying how code is run, the same theoretical problem exists with libraries that register autoloaders - 'omg they can totally change what code is even going to be run, let alone the precise semantic behaviour'. This turns out not to be a problem, as any library that did that would lose all of it's users immediately. For this RFC, it would be usual to only have the namespace_declare() in the same place as the autoloader(s) are registered; in the bootstrap file before any real code is run. cheers Dan
