   can someone explain the "escape" reason for this code?
   i don' t understand the syntax, nor what it's called to google it more.
   
   
   

   Code:

   $visitor = \XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();
   ...........^

   Where are you seeing that?
   
   Is it from an add-on?

   yes, this particular example is from an addon, but it's not the first time i've seen it used.

   It's the namespace delimiter: http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php
