that start with PHP_ if this decision is made.
I am not sure I like this idea of prefixing all the classes with
PHP_. Having PHP_TextIterator seems kind of wonky to me. Besides,
I don't really see any SPL_ prefixed classes, they are all
either *Iterator or *Object. I could argue that Perl or Python
don't do this prefixing, but I guess they do have namespace support.
Exactly, and that's the problem. We aren't dealing with 'no
namespace support', we're dealing with 'no namespace support just
yet but we'll have it in the foreseeable future'. We have to deal
with both situations right now.
