If I could only choose between always forwarding called context and never forwarding called context (for parent:: and class names) I would rather always forward so this wouldn't be the end of the world for me, but I do believe the mixture is a more flexible way of handling things. On a different note, is that functionality introduced by the patch you don't like or is it the specific implementation? Is there a better way to implement it and retain the functionality it introduces? (for my own benefit) -Mike Lively
