Hi,

are they any plans to add full namespace support for the Reflection API 
in PHP 5.4. Until now there is only rudimentary
support implemented.

There would be a great benefit for userland annotation parsers, because 
it could access the use statements to get the FQN
for an annotation. I think there are many other use cases for such 
feature.

Maybe someone can help my to write an RFC, because My English isn't the 
best.

Best regards,
Christian
