Subject: Include/require into namespace
From: foolistbar@googlemail.com (Geoffrey Sneddon)

Hi,

With the impending release of PHP 5.3 and the addition of namespaces  
into PHP, there becomes the issue of integrating libraries that are  
designed to still support PHP 4 (please, don't turn this into a  
discussion about whether they should or not: this _is_ a real issue)  
into something designed to use namespaces throughout. A simple  
solution would be to just include/require a file _into_ a namespace,  
which makes the default namespace in that file that namespace.

e.g. (inc. the case of defining a namespace in the included into a  
namespace file),

a.php:
<?php

require 'b.php' into Foo;
Foo::hi();
echo "\n";
Bar::magic();

?>

b.php:
<?php

function hi() {
	echo 'Hello, world!';
}

namespace Bar;

function magic() {
	echo 'Wow! This is in a namespace both here and there!';
}

?>

Expected output:
Hello, world!
Wow! This is in a namespace both here and there!
