The decision not to add namespaces to the language, after trying them
out, was unbelievably shortsighted, IMO.  Without it, PHP really doesn't
scale up to serious projects, especially distributed, open source ones.
Take a look at the SquirrelMail internals if you want to see what can
happen when you try to build a flexible plug-in architecture using a
language that has no namespaces (and if you try to  fake it with objects
you suffer because OO in PHP4 is dog slow - maybe this is better in
PHP5).  A mess.
