Quoting Stanislav Malyshev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
"import PHP" is a no-op now. However, I have another idea about it
(besides the fix for the import thing that indeed looks like a bug
to me) - what if we add some syntax to say "use this namespace"
which would use autoload, so you'd say:
namespace Test;
throw new this::Exception();
and it would mean Test::Exception (including autoloading). Without
concentrating on 'this' name (we may have another, better name for
that) would it make things better?
I don't think this helps; it means that you need to use the local
syntax every time you use a class, instead of importing it once, and
it doesn't resolve the fact that if you use a non-fully-qualified
classname (like Directory, for a different example), you need to say
::Directory or else if a previous file in your namespace has defined a
Directory class, the class you end up using changes.
This unpredictability is I think the worst part of the current implementation.
