It wouldn't be major BC, but minor.

Most compatible way is to allow namespace alias to \ (root) and simply
override
existing functions. There isn't BC with this. PHP allows it already when it
is done
one by one.

If we would like to have clean \ (root) namespace optionally, it's matter
of adding
a setting.

What make you think it a major BC?

Regards,
