Hi!
New classes within 7.2 (e.g. \HashContext) to be moved without concern
for BC (e.g. \php\Hash\HashContext)
Older classes (e.g. \RecursiveIteratorIterator) to be moved AND
ALIASED FOR BC (e.g. \php\SPL\Iterator\RecursiveIteratorIterator)
Do we really need this? I mean, it's not very likely that there's
another RecursiveIteratorIterator in PHP code, and in user code it'd be
namespaced anyway... It just looks like a lot of moving things around
without any visible (at least visible to me) benefit. And given that no
code would be able to use the long name for like 10 years, and even then
why would anybody use long name if short one works.... In general, I
don't see a point. New exts/features - sure.
I agree with Stanislav. Everyone should remember that namespaces were only
invented to deal with a particular problem - that of name collisions with
user-land code or third-party libraries. It was NEVER intended to be applied
to all core functions. Do you realise that this will break ALL existing
code? For what benefit? Just to satisfy someone's personal preference is NOT
enough justification.
