Hi Marcus,

Hello Internals,
please let's not introduce new inconsistencies. Rather lets make new
stuff consistent with old stuff during the alpha phase of 5.3.
1) new keyword 'use'. Semantically it is the same as 'static' or 'global'
so it should be used in the same location.
For me 'use' is the best keyword as it says that closure uses variables
from current content. (the same keyword is used for import from namespaces)
2) namespaces, either use 'package' and only one per file, or use
'namespace' with curly braces. Read this as be consistent with other
languages and even if one or two people do not like it the two main
languages out there which have it are Java which goes with the former and
C++ which does the latter. Please chose and not mix it. Also our mix is a
nightmare when developing code.
If we feel we have to keep the keyword 'namesapce' but cannot have curly
braces, than I suggest we disallow multiple namespace per file.
And there is no technical reason and surely no other reason whatsoever to
not have curly braces. If there is then we either fix that or went with the
wrong approach.
I don't like multiple namespaces per file too.
As I remember they were introduced by Greg's request related to
ext/phar. May be he already changed his mind.
'package' or 'namespace' is not so important for me.
Thanks. Dmitry.
3) __invokable, see Etiene's mail
Best regards,
Marcus
