Christian Stocker pointed today to discussions that have been taken in the PHP internals group : PHP is (most presumably) getting namespaces. Namespaces is one of the great features that developers are awaiting in the Next generation of PHP.
The annoying part of the discussion (with dozens of redundant posts) was about which namespace separator should be used. The proposals went from ~> to }{ to :> and other funny combinations and someone even started counting the votes and making a big table of his interpretation what the people said... You have to keep in mind, that there are usually no votes on internals, but conclusions are tried to be made by consensus.
