As I understand it accessing parent namespaces would require the same brain
power
that it needs to access child namespaces as both of them rely on knowing what's
the current namespace. To me it is weird to have one but not the other.

Adding support for the ..\..\Foo\Bar notation quickly requires quite some brain
power to read the code, especially in a longer file where the namespace
declaration might not be on the same screen. We try to keep PHP code
human-readable.
Doing the use foo\*; thing is not possible due to PHP's dynamic nature. We do
not know which classes there might be (think __autoload) so we'd like to do it
but can't.

I was just about to post the exact same feature suggestion. I'm using PHP 5.4
RC8
after 2 years of programming Ruby (I have a project that better lends itself to
PHP template-orientated nature), and this was one of the first things I tried
to
do, reference a resource one level up in the namespace hierarchy. Luckily, my
namespace isn't too deep, but I can imagine some of the larger frameworks which
have 3-6+ level deep namespaces could really benefit from this.
I'm surprised none of the dev's have commented on this.

very nice, i really like it
it would be nice too having * on import
works only if __autoload or spl_autoload_register is used, otherwise triggers
an error
use MyNS\Test\*; // imports all classes in the "Test" namespace
use MyNS\Test\**; // imports all the namespace hierarchy (including
subpackages) from namespace Test
__autoload($className, $importAll = FALSE, $importDeep = FALSE)
{
// handle * as a full dir import
// ** imports subdirs too
}
in my framework i need to put
use \FW\String;
use \FW\Int;
use \FW\Float;
use \FW\Vector;
use \FW\Dictionary;
use \FW\Types;
etc in every file...

Description:
------------
It would be nice to have relative namespace support to keep code clean and
flexible.
When inside of a namespace, it would be nice to have some directory-path-like
option like '..'.
Test script:
---------------
namespace MyNs\Some\Path\Going\A\Long\Way
{
class GoClass extends ..\..\Short\Way\GoClass // <<
{}
}
