Yes, however for consistency, I personally like the idea of using a longer
namespace over prefixed class names.  The most relevant example being the
SPL data structures.

For instance SplStack might come under Php\Collection\Stack.

As far as I can tell there is a fair amount of fear of adding new native
classes in light of BC issues.  But I have yet to see anyone claim the Php
vendor namespace for themselves, so it might provide for future extensions.
