Subject: Basic Namespace Requirements
From: jrhernandez05@gmail.com ("Jessie Hernandez")

All,

After seeing Dmitry's patch, all he is allowing inside a module are import
statements and classes.

So, the question is, can we scrap both namespace constants and namespace
functions and just stay with classes (as was agreed on several months ago,
Andi himself agreeing to it)? This would make the patch smaller, simpler,
AND would allow me to reuse the "::" operator (and there would be no
conflicts with ternary operations).

I think this is the best solution thus far. If any one of you still feels a
need for constants/functions, PLEASE show me a _valid_ example that cannot
be accomplished by just simply putting the constant/function inside a class
in the namespace.

If I don't hear of any valid arguments, then I'm going to go ahead and scrap
constants and functions and then concentrate on the final details of the
patch.


Regards,
