Justin Patrin (http://pear.php.net/user/justinpatrin) has commented on the proposal for
PEAR::Namespace.
Comment:
I agree with Philippe. This isn't useful simply because it pollutes the
namespace and will cause confusion among developers and users. It could
also cause collisions and confusion when multiple classes/constants/etc
are named the same. This is not the same as a "using" statement in C++, it
is a bare approximation and will cause far more problems than it solves.
In addition, you have some errors in your code, your code doesn't conform
to PEAR CS, and your error handling is incorrect (return
PEAR::raiseError(), not simply raiseError).
