It's a bit ironic that you underestimate PHP's devs with that sort of assumption, don't you think? If you dig into this list's archives, you'll see that namespaces were mentionned as a matter of interest as early as 2000(?) and if memory serves, a previous round of patches in 2005 did include class visibility (a side effect actually... IIRC). At least, I remember super-long threads about it and it wasn't pretty. Please don't take my word for it as I might remember some of it incorrectly. Anyway, my point is there's huge archives and you may find more informations about that if you're really interested in it. Also, if you can unearth some substantial amount of user requests, it will help your cause and prove that people actually want/need that feature. -JD -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
