Given PHP's long history and fanatical dedication to BC, should all bundled/core classes/functions/constants ALWAYS remain in the root namespace with a strong advisory to userspace libraries and applications to use vendor namespacing (which by and large, is precisely the status quo). If that makes sense, then that's another reason not to bring Sodium in as a namespaced library of functions. -Sara -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
