Subject: Namespace access modifiers
From: ralph@smashlabs.com (Ralph Schindler)

Since everyone is in the "namespace" frame of mind, is there a 
possibility of a "namespace" access modifier?

The way I envision this working is that if for example:

namespace Foo;

class Bar {
   nsprotected $_someProperty = null;
}

(or some other equivalent grammer)

Would allow the property Foo::Bar::$_someProperty to be accessed from 
any class that has implemented a class from the Foo namespace.

Reaching for straws or is this a possibility?
