#50969 [Bgs]: operator overloading for classes
ID: 50969

Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Operating System: all
PHP Version: 5.3.2RC1
New Comment:
I'm not particularly aware of operator overloading in other language
but I don't see why it would be less readable in PHP than in any other
language as the only way to know what is happening is to read the code
of the method overloading the operator.
Anyhow, do I have to take as official PHP Team position that you won't
implement it ?

Operator overloading in a dynamically weak typed language is bad as
reading code gives no information what's happening. If you really want
it go to http://pecl.php.net/operator maybe that still
works.

Description:
------------
I would like to know what is the current PHP team position about
operator overloading in PHP for classes.
Operator overloading has been stated Bogus in
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9331 but it was
more than two years ago.
I think it would be nice to have a discussion about that topic. If you
recently had one I would be interested if you could indicate me where I
can find it.
Best Regards.
