Quoting Greg Beaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Part 3:
judgment of value
Current approach:
advantages:
1) internal classes resolve very fast
disadvantages:
1) potential unexpected name resolution to internal class when
namespaced classname exists
New approach:
advantages:
1) code runs the same regardless of load order or autoload
disadvantages:
1) serious performance slowdown on each internal class name resolution
In my opinion the unexpected name resolution to internal classes is a
serious flaw in the current namespace implementation, and will cause a
lot of confusion or (in my case) avoiding namespaces altogether. The
clincher for me is that the performance ramifications can be solved
with the exact same workaround that is currently necessary for all
user-defined classes (use ::Exception) AND - in PHP user-defined
classes are far more common and numerous than internal classes.
So I would be extremely happy to see this change go into PHP 5_3.
Thanks, Greg!
