Description:
------------
If a namespaced class extends a non-namespaced abstract class, typehinted method 
parameters are not checked correctly by the interpreter. The code sample shows 
this best, but basically the child class implementing the abstract methods isn't 
correctly checking how namespaces will apply to typehinted parameters as they were 
declared in the base class. While the code aesthetically looks the same, the 
parser (as expected) interprets the typehints in the namespaced class to be based 
on the current namespace when not explicity specified, but this unintentionally 
changes the signature of the methods from that of the abstract class.



Test script:
---------------
========================base.php
<?php

class Payment {}
abstract class CreditCardProcessor {
	abstract function AuthorizePayment(Payment $p);
}


========================run.php
<?php

namespace processors\credit_card;
require_once 'base.php';
class ipc extends \CreditCardProcessor {
	function AuthorizePayment(Payment $p) {
	}
}

$p = new \Payment;
$ipc = new ipc;
$ipc->AuthorizePayment($p);




// note that if processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() is declared as (\Payment $p) instead of (Payment $p), everything behaves as expected since the base class is actually expecting a \Payment object


Expected result:
----------------
PHP Fatal error:  Declaration of processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() 
must be compatible with that of CreditCardProcessor::AuthorizePayment() in 
/Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 5


Actual result:
--------------
PHP Catchable fatal error:  Argument 1 passed to 
processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() must be an instance of 
processors\credit_card\Payment_Model, instance of Payment_Model given, called in 
/Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 12 and defined in /Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 
6
