If we are conforming to standards, and I feel we should where possible (they are there for a reason.. by your argument why should dirname("/foo/") return / rather than /foo, which, to most of us is the most obvious but as you pointed out earlier the standards say so..). If I come from some other language or where ever and expect test=1;2;3 to work someway and it works differently to the standards "just because it does and we dont want to ram standards down peoples throats" its going to piss me off. I agree it should be optional but should be defaulted to on. -James
