Hello Internals,

  we all were asked to stop discussing syntax of namespaces as we were told
that we would decide after the namespace functionality was fully implemented.
Now I think that the functionallity is pretty much settled we should
revisit the syntax. We all have been very patient so far. Anyway here goes
my take on it:

PHP is very close to Java and C++ in terms of Syntax. And many of our users
are familiar with one or even both of them. Also we have a tendency to
especially take syntax from those two or be in line with those two
languages. That said I see two ways:

1) namespace foo { }

2) package foo;

I favor 1) if we allow namespace nesting and 2) if not. The current way of
nesting is very confusing:
namespace foo; namespace bar;

Best regards,
 Marcus
