Code style about cache HOT 4 CLOSED

Regarding your questions:

1. That is a valid point and I though about it from the beginning. I was not sure if anyone else apart me actually need this lib. Once there is I do not mind refactoring it on master. However, I would like to keep minimum PHP version 5.4 (or even upgrade up to 5.5.9) on a separate branch and release both branches simultaneously for personal preference.
2. This is not relevant since PHP 5.3.6 bug was resolved and use-statements accept only fully qualified classnames. So it is not possible right now that DateTime class imported with use DateTime would be searched within current namespace. Below is a quote from PHP manual regarding this case:

Note that for namespaced names (fully qualified namespace names containing namespace separator, such as Foo\Bar as opposed to global names that do not, such as FooBar), the leading backslash is unnecessary and not recommended, as import names must be fully qualified, and are not processed relative to the current namespace.

Thank you for your comments. Much appreciated! ⭐

Hi @egils

I would recommend you not to support php 5.3 as it has reached it's now EOL

@mathroc I tend to agree with you.
I have no knowledge about any PHP 5.3 dependant project that would want to use this lib. If there will be on I'll be more than happy to collaborate and help finding a solution. But for now I am closing this issue.

P.S. very nice read. Thank you!

Okay, I just wanted to highlight, that we don't need to break backwards-compatibility.
