So, in steps:
1. Take the current function roster - all of it - and put it in

2. The root namespace would be empty BUT...
3. An INI directive set globally or per directory can set which namespace
is bound to root. Initially this would be "\PHP\Legacy", so all legacy
code would not have to change - it would run in the new version and find
all of its functionality without incident. This is critical - as this
directive would likely need to stay as is for two majors minimum, possibly
more.
Thank you for the contribution.
However, such a change would never, ever be accepted. With good reason.
