At this point I guess we have the choice between:

Again I hope that Stas/Dmitry will give us an insight about their
proposals,
though Stas proposal might or might not see any changes.
Stas wrote up an RFC about the two proposals:

Now I finally figured out what the two things are without having to
real a gazillion pointless posts it makes it easier to formulate my
point of view.
From my own point of view - which may well be flawed - I AM still
seeing 'namespace' as a stepping stone to better code, but in order to
achieve that *I* am thinking that legacy sections get wrapped in a
namespace while other sections are developed. To that end, wrapping
legacy functions and constant does seem essential SHORT TERM, so not
having them would seem to me to make take-up of the concept hamstrung?
What would be the advantage of wrapping legacy functions in a namespace
over wrapping them into a class as static functions?
THAT is probably why I am asking the question? And may well be key to my
understanding why converting non OO code into OO code in PHP is so
problematic. When I was coding in CC++ more heavily libraries did not need to
be objects and the 'namespace' just wrapped the code OR the code was built as
an object. That is what I understand by a namespace, so perhaps I do not
understand why leaving out functions and constants is acceptable :(
Am I being totally out of line with that idea? Is there a way to
achieve the same result with the current offering?
