I really wish that this list was developer-only (which would mean i couldn't write this post). The developers made a decision. And as much as I dislike the "feel" of the '\' as namespace separator, the argumentation for it is really solid - and it's a one character, distinctive separator. Would you all really prefer to have to stand on your head and make funny gestures instead? I wouldn't.
In the end the users of this language will do as they have always done with new features. 20% will dislike the implementation, 20% will outward not use it and 10% will misunderstand the benefits. But the rest of use will do as usual - adapt, and be glad for a new, and useful improvement. So, as one of the people waiting for this feature for last 4 or 5 years, please, go with it, ignore the whiners, and make as all happy, as you continue to do :) Oh, and come out with that alpha as soon as possible, I'm so eager to try this out :) Thanks, -- Kamil "Brego" Dzielinski: http://brego.dk/ Life is ours, we live it our way -- Metallica -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
