I've always liked the o with the slash trough it. The e with the horizontal colon is also pretty nice. The n with the tilde over it, it so strongly says _n_amespace. When I read this message first thing I did was check the date, but deep down I knew it wasn't April yet. One of the top reasons why I hate using windows consoles is the dreaded "\" character. Each and every keyboard model I have has this key in a different place, sometimes one hard to reach. Every time I'm in doing a cd in windows I press 2-3 other keys while going for the backslash. That whole rating table over on the PHP wiki is just ridiculous. - type-ability: come on. If anything, it should get -1 there - typo-vulnerability: pretty big, but I think most problems will be escaping rather than typos anyway - number of chars: any sane person will agree that you can write "::" a lot faster than "\" - editor integration: not really, many editors will have trouble, including vim I eagerly await namespaces in PHP, but guys, if you don't have a good idea, I think copying is better than implementing a bad one. \Tudor
