Oliver,
Like I mentioned in another thread, ":" cannot be used, even if only
classes are allowed in namespaces. Look at this example:
$x = $y?a:b::c();
The above can be parsed either as the first argument being "the result
of method c of class b in namespace a" or the first argument being "the
define named 'a' if true and the result of method c of the
_unnamespaced_ class b". The only way to disambiguate is to force
whitespace or force parentheses usage, but this would make the language
inconsistent and confusing.
Regards,
Jessie

Radical idea:
1) Use :.

3) Make : to work like ->.
4) But no one will agree to it anyway, so I stop here.
Nope. I agree ;-)
But that train has already left.
(although I still think : could be made to work for the namespaces)
