So let's say we've got a package like this:


namespace JessieStuff {

  class FirstClass { ... }

  class SecondClass {

    public $obj;

    function __construct() {
      $this->obj = new FirstClass();
    }
  }
}


Now we'd import this with prefixing everything and the
result would be something that acts like:


class JessieStuff_FirstClass { ... }

class JessieStuff_SecondClass {

  public $obj;

  function __construct() {
    $this->obj = new FirstClass();
  }
}


Then, if I do:

$x = new JessieStuff_SecondClass();

I'd get an error that 'FirstClass' can't be found. Because it's
renamed to JessieStuff_FirstClass.

Or do you suggest we replace all occurences of 'new ClassName()' to
'new JessieStuff_ClassName()' as well?

Or do you suggest that everything that was inside the namespace is
still able to call "internal" classes without using the namespace
prefix? And your INI option only provides interface classes?
