I understand what you mean, but I was just trying to put a real-world face
on a so-far theoretical problem. But that does raise an interesting point;
we can already use braces anywhere and everywhere, and while we could easily
wrap namespaces in anonymous braces like you describe, why not just go the
extra mile and allow attaching them directly to the namespace, i.e.:

<?php

namespace XYZ {
    // Do stuff
}

// Looks a little better than

{
    namespace XYZ;

    // Do stuff

}

?>

Of course, this is just my opinion, and given your suggestion, at least
there is an acceptable solution already. Thank you. :)

It looked like something resembling white marble, which was
probably what it was: something resembling white marble.
