Marcus,
You saw my patch that works with "::" and doesn't break any scripts.

Hello Bob,
it is only awkward because you want to turn php into c++.
We are a different language here and thus can chose any
separator that works for us. And neither : nor :: work.
Instead from keeping us from working by having to explain
this over and over and over again i suggest you show me a
working patch that does not break trillions of php scripts.

For what its worth (not much), I'd rather give up namespace
constants
and use : rather than enforce whitespace which is just BAD from a
language perspective. Makes it feel like programming in bash. The
concept behind namespaces (in PHP at least) is rooted in OOP, so
requiring a class just to have constants in your namespace
isn't too
much to ask for. The parser should always be able to handle
<namespace>:<class>::<whatever> and not conflict with other syntax.
If we are truly stuck with \ so be it, but I think
alternatives with
some level of compromise should be considered before \ is settled
upon. It's just plain awkward IMO.

you'd simply do:

Only if newly introduced PHP core classes use a namespace
too. You'll
have to use PHP\Date (or the like) if you want to avoid
conflicts in
existing code. Plus maybe something like "import PHP\Date
as Date" or
something along these lines if you want to avoid PHP\ in newly
written code where you know that there is no Date class yet.
PS: I'd rather have : for namespaces with the whitespace
restriction
for ? a:x : b:y than the confusing (escaping characters
outside of a
string?) backslash.
