Hi Mat,

Hi, I've been following your conversations all day and think I might
have a nice idea for the namespace separator idea. Sorry to barge in
on your conversation but I think the following has value.
What about something like <- or <:: or even just <:
It makes sense to me because a namespace is akin to a parent of the
class and in a diagram I would use an arrow to point to the parent
from the child. At least there is some type of parent <- child
relation.
examples:
Namespace <:: ClassName
or
Namespace <- ClassName
or
Namespace <: ClassName
Unless I'm missing something these symbols should not conflict with
other ones. They also have more a PHP "feel".
Hmm, "<:" doesn't look bad to me. I'd like to somehow conduct a poll to
see what most prefer (it would be great if we could add polls on
php.net). So far, I have these possibilites:
:::
:>
<::
<-
<:
This is the most semantically pleasing for me and it mirrors a common
convention and represents the actual relationship. In the language it
is nice when the symbols have an appearance representative of the
actual relationship.
When I see \ I think of ugly Windoze file paths. Also ::: seems awkward somehow.
Matt.
Yeah, I feel the same way for "\". ":::" seems OK to me, but of course,
I want to put what the majority prefer.
Regards,
Jessie
