I know that..
Right now you can do.

--File: ns.php--
namespace What
define ('NAME', 'booo');

class Tester
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        echo 'yeah.. no!';
    }
}


--File: testns.php--
require 'ns.php';

echo NAME; // Will echo booo without importing the namespace

// And

$obj = new Tester; // This as it should do, will return an error.

// Change to that:

import What as A;
$obj = new A::Tester; // This will echo yeah...No as it should.



So my question is: Anyone thinking in doing const for namespaces thus
calling something like

What::NAME; // echo 'booo'


?
