Namespaces in PHP are scaring me.

I can only imagine some of my developers creating code and using
namespaces - and how do you identify which namespace a function, class
or chunk of code is under?

It looks like you can define namespaces anywhere.

If I'm looking for a specific function, and it's in two include files,
how do you know which namespace the function is written under? Some
sort of manual backtrace?

Is there a magic constant like __NAMESPACE__ or a function that can
return the name of the namespace the code is currently running under?

At the moment I would actually be telling my developers when I switch
over to 5.3.0 to NOT use namespacing. We don't need it in any of our
applications, and it will just complicate things...
