In light of recent discussions on attribute naming schemes, I=E2=80=99m
concerned that future RFC discussions will be riddled with noisy
back-and-forth messages concerning what and how to name things. I=E2=80=99=
m not
passing any judgement on these types of conversations, since I agree
that naming things is important, but I also think the use of a
specialized namespace for core symbols is inevitable, and it=E2=80=99s =
better to
tackle this now than later.

With that in mind, I=E2=80=99m changing my =E2=80=9Cno=E2=80=9D vote to =
a =E2=80=9Cyes=E2=80=9D for this RFC.

As a side note: one of the reasons I dislike the `\PHP` namespace is
because I think it looks ugly. I don=E2=80=99t know why I have this =
impression,
and it=E2=80=99s probably the wrong reason to vote =E2=80=9Cno=E2=80=9D =
on something, but it=E2=80=99s
one of the factors that led me to vote =E2=80=9Cno.=E2=80=9D I=E2=80=99ll =
probably standardize
on capitalizing the namespace as `\Php` (I tend to follow the Microsoft
.NET capitalization conventions [1]).

Cheers,
Ben
