Hi!
What kind of attitude is that? You personally think it sucks, so it's not going to happen?
Not only myself, but myself too. Why do you think that your opinion matters but mine and everybody's that agrees with me doesn't?
It's not artificial or awkward at all, it's poor man's namespacing that
Poor man's namespacing is not exactly what we want. I just call you to think wider than narrow focus on "all names should start with the same letter".
we use in PHP since ages, because we don't have namespacing yet. Everybody is using it, especially in PHP internally.
No, not everybody. Exception class is not called StandardException, and ArrayIterator is not called SplArrayIterator, Directory is not called StandardDirectory, etc.
Maybe because you DO live in the ivory tower and have the luxury to be
I'm with PHP since 1998 at least, maybe earlier (hard to remember 10 years back). I don't think it's especially smart to try and accuse me in not knowing what happens with real-world projects in PHP.
ext/intl, chances are high they have to rewrite their whole code, because they happen to use Collator or Locale already. Not very unlikely
And they should. If they are going to use ICU extension, why would they need to use their own Collator? It makes little sense to both have your own collators and ICU collator and use those in the same application.
