You are right. On the flip side, if you can't use your maintainable
code because it is slow as molasses, that is a problem.
If that's the case, and if it was my problem, I'll be facing two
possibilities:
1) I've chosen the wrong language or platform for this app
2) I did a really poor design of the app where I either never took
performance into consideration, or my performance estimates where
completely
wrong.
Of course the performance of the application itself and the
performance of my code is the first place where i look. I dont shift
this burden to php just because im lazy.
As far as I understood it the patch that will support multiple
namespaces/packages per file is a minor patch and the only argument
against it were that it can lead to bad practices, with which i can't
really agree as this argument could be used against many features.
(If there are implementation issues which im not aware of then i'm
sorry, i'm not that deep into php-dev).
Thats why I don't really understand the whole trouble that is caused
by this. Noone will force you to write bad code.
