Thanks Larry,

I don't really like the java-style mapping from namespace to filename  
either.  Would prefer to see that not happen at all.... wonder what  
the chances of that are....

ABSOLUTELY do not agree with treating the _ as a directory  
separator.  Many languages do NOT do this (FLEX, etc).  Would really  
be a pain in moving drupal in any OO directions as well. The deep  
trees that are typical in java are not my friend.  I'd like to be  
able to bundle things in flatter structures, if I can. The _  
directory separator greatly impedes that effort.

I also don't really like the mandate of 1 class name per file name,  
but I'll probably get overruled on that one, too.

Thanks for taking up the cause!

Dave
