That means prefixing your methods as well ?

The problem is when one calls something like a method "import()"

You prefix your functions ? I think this is silly. Prefix the class to
make it namespace** like, but not the methods...

PEAR_ClassName {
    public static function __PEAR_construct() { }
    public static function PEAR_import() { }
    public static function PEAR_export() { }
}

Which ends in

PEAR_ClassName::PEAR_Import();

Whereas:

PEAR_ClassName::import(); would usually be ok to do.

Prefixing the methods imho is the no go in this case.
