Once again. I do not want classes/function from ORM lib to clutter my global namespace everywhere. I just want everything from it to be available in couple of files (where lots of SQL/mapping) is going to be used. In those few files I'll be able to keep control of names and avoid conflicts. Sure, I can prefix all the names or insert a bunch of imports, although it'll just be ugly. And about "not using namespaces" - there are such things as code libraries. Those will probalby be namespaced - so I'll be using namespaces even in small scripts - just because I'll be using those libs. If using a bunch of imports is the only way that is accepted - then at least a shortcut like python's "from x import a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h" would be a nice. -- Paweł Stradomski -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
