Hey Greg,
Remember, the patch I'm proposing would only be necessary for people using un-namespaced code combined with namespaced code (already a bad idea) *and* scattering "use" statements throughout the global code.
If it's 'already a bad idea', why support it?
Also, the *only* supported use case behind allowing multiple namespaces per file is to allow people to mash pre-existing separate PHP files together, and have them still compile. Requiring brackets is designed to make it more readable, and the "use" restriction furthers that goal.
This part makes sense. - Steph -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
