Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] alpha2 scheduled
From: brego.dk@gmail.com ("Kamil \"Brego\" Dzielinski")

I really wish that this list was developer-only (which would mean i
couldn't write this post). The developers made a decision. And as much
as I dislike the "feel" of the '\' as namespace separator, the
argumentation for it is really solid - and it's a one character,
distinctive separator. Would you all really prefer to have to stand on
your head and make funny gestures instead? I wouldn't.

In the end the users of this language will do as they have always done
with new features. 20% will dislike the implementation, 20% will
outward not use it and 10% will misunderstand the benefits. But the
rest of use will do as usual - adapt, and be glad for a new, and
useful improvement.

So, as one of the people waiting for this feature for last 4 or 5
years, please, go with it, ignore the whiners, and make as all happy,
as you continue to do :)

Oh, and come out with that alpha as soon as possible, I'm so eager to
try this out :)

Thanks,
