You can search this list and download the patch if you want to check it out (I can also repost if necessary). Just to make sure you find the latest one, it's in a "Beta 2" thread. It was also posted in a reply to Andi in a thread entitled "Allow functions in namespaces?". As to whether the patch will be accepted or not, I don't know. It seems that many are busy with the upcoming 5.1 release, that's why only few have checked the patch and offered their opinions. Feel free to try out the patch and let me know what you think. Thanks.
