Quoting Stanislav Malyshev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Yes. I think that if you use an unqualified name it should always
be relative to the namespace (and importing internal classes into
your namespace lets you use short names for them, avoiding
::Exception).
Unfortunately, there are problems with this solution, since it
makes common case harder to implement - internal classes are more
frequently used than overridden. It makes harder to convert library
code which does not use tricks like overriding system classes -
which is on my experience most of the code - you have now to go to
almost every file and find all the system classes you have used
there and put imports for them.
My last word on this is just going to be to ask you to consult with
the Zend Framework team (Matthew W.), PEAR2 (Greg), and perhaps some
other large PHP class libraries/frameworks. I don't think it's
unreasonable to say that namespaces should be heavily influenced by
the kind of large projects that will use them. I'm speaking for Horde;
if all the other large projects prefer it the way it currently is,
then that's fine, I can live with that, but if not, I just ask that
you reconsider.
Thanks,
