How exactly is this a big problem? Is the parser always working from
left to right and assigning a token on current context or is it looking
at the whole line? Is it impossible to give the ternary operator a
higher priority than the namespace operator?
Then the implementation could always treat foo:bar as being two
constants in the ternary. This way only new code not using whitespace
would throw parsing errors which actually means that NO existing code
breaks.
