Subject: PHP 6 : a new API ?
From: klausufo@yahoo.fr (Klaus Ufo)

Hi there !

We all know that the current PHP API has flaws. Maybe we could use namespac=
es to build a new coherent PHP API ? Like :

- \arr
- \num
- \str

and so on. Advantages :

- no more global functions
- separation of concerns
- backward compatibility
- work can be done progressively
- easy to add user-defined functions (using php namespaces)
- we could provide a \str\utf8 namespace

This is just an idea. I don't know what is your vision for a next PHP 6.
