My previous message didn't push the point I wanted raise: don't we have a
major problem related to at-run-time namespace resolution for functions and
constants?

Take this code: namespace foo { strlen("bar"); }

Will you trigger an autoload for foo\strlen?
I believe not because that would hurt performance too much.
But then, how will you load function foo\strlen if it exists?

Now take this code: namespace foo { bar(); }

Will you trigger autoload for "foo\bar" first, then for "bar"?
Only for "foo\bar"? But then, what if "bar" exists and just waits being
autoloaded?

I fail to see how autoloading functions is compatible with at-run-time
namespace resolution.
