From: helly@php.net (Marcus Boerger)

Hello all,

  Greg was so kind to give me part of his awesome upcoming Pyrus code. He
actually has it running with both ':::' and '\' as namespace separators.
So I thought I'd help out a tiny tiny bit by giving you all the choice of
having a look at actual working code:

http://php.net/~helly/triplecolon.html
http://php.net/~helly/triplecolon-colored.html
http://php.net/~helly/backslash-colored.html
http://php.net/~helly/backslash.html
