Hi Rasmus,

The way the sentence was worded at 
http://www.php.net/~derick/meeting-notes.html#name-spaces led me to 
believe this:

"First we briefly discussed the current name space patch, but as we were 
not all familiar with its workings we did not go into deep detail for 
this. Then we saw an alternative implementation of name spaces with 
"Modules"".

Anyways, from what you said, is namespace support only going to be added 
in PHP 6? I have been basing my patch on 5.1, hoping that it would make 
it before 6, as the patch is small and has absolutely no BC problems.

Obviously, I don't agree on having to wait that long, but if that is the 
case, I'll check what changes I need to do in order to apply it to PHP 
6. Thanks for the clarification.


Regards,

Jessie Hernandez
