One possible policy which came up in chat last night was that universal 
base classes (which tend to be few in number, and act almost as 
keywords) should be in the root namespace; but built-in implementations 
of those (at the same level as ones users could create) are prefixed 
with "PHP\Something\".

For instance, if we had a time machine and were adding them all now:

- "\Throwable" and "\Exception", but "\PHP\Exceptions\RuntimeException"
- "\Iterator" but "\PHP\Iterators\FilterIterator"
- "\Attribute", but "\PHP\Attributes\Deprecated"

Regards,
