Hi!
On the ZendCon, we (Marcus, Elizabeth, Andi and myself) had a talk about
what we'd like to do with namespaces, and we arrived at the following
conclusions, which we propose to implement in 5.3:
.....
3. Functions will not be allowed inside namespaces. We arrived to
conclusion that they are much more trouble than they're worth, and
summarily we would be better off without them. Most of the functionality
could be easily achieved using static class methods, and the rest may be
emulated with variable function names, etc.
Comments?
*IF* Functions can not be wrapped in a namespace then what *IS* the object of
namespace?
I understood that namespace was to be a wrapper so that things with the same
internal name could be isolated? If one of the main elements of a library
can't then be included in the library namespace is there ANY point in adding
namespaces at all?
