[proposal] some kind of namespacing on globals

[CarstenHoyer]

I just installed Drupal and Drush in Homestead using Composer. I know Homestead is made for Laravel, but its just so good :)

When doing anything with Drush I would get:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare base_path() (previously declared in /home/vagrant/.composer/vendor/illuminate/support/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php:365) in /home/vagrant/Workspace/drupal/8/community/core/includes/common.inc on line 830

Drupal also has a base_path global function. I ended up renaming the Laravel base_path to laravel_base_path. Maybe not the prettiest solution, but it looks like it is working for now.

Please consider some solution (probably not mine) to this problem.

EDIT: Same goes for dd()

That would go against the whole point of these functions, sorry. They need to be easy to use in views, like the trans function. We can't namespace them.

@CarstenHoyer how did you work around this and change this variable when working in Drupal sites?

[CarstenHoyer]

@rossedman I didn´t. I started using Homestead for Laravel and VDD for Drupal. Much better solution.

@CarstenHoyer Thats what I was considering. Thanks so much for responding.

I've got the same problem with Drupal.
