Description:
------------
I believe the dollar sign in variable names to be a waste of precious
keystrokes,
and I would boldly suggest the requirement that variable names be
prefixed with a
dollar sign is removed.
Currently, undefined literals are interpreted as strings (with a
"Notice" fired).
This is a hardly useful feature, as most useful strings will contain
spaces. A
better use of such tokens would be to interpret them as variables.
If this feature would not be seriously considered, I would appreciate
any pointers
into the relevant source code location(s) that needs to be modified to
implement
this feature.
Thanks,
AhmetSacan.
