Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Specify namespace to include file into.
From: ralph@ralphschindler.com (Ralph Schindler)

At first glance, this is technically impossible, with regards to our 
current resolution rules: 
http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.rules.php

Assuming you have an un-namespaced:

class Db {
   public function __construct() {
     $this->conn = new PDO(..);
   }
}

and you require this as:

require ./path/to/Db.php, 'Some\SubDb';

How does PDO get resolved? Automatically as \PDO or as \Some\SubDb\PDO?

Isn't it just easier to change the code? ;)
