Re: 4.1 & Declaration Case Persistance

Hi Sterling- There are implementation-specific reasons of why this can be useful, but I was hoping to avoid the "I can't see why you'd want this" (very common on this list, and something I'm also guilty of, but limiting to the evolution of the language IMHO) argument in favor of "semantically that's probably the right way to do it, but it's not real important", which is why I'm willing to make the change if the concensus is that the change would be the right thing. I definetly believe it's not real important and will have no visible benefit to "most people". What I want to be sure of is that it won't hurt "most people" either. I'm not sure if the speed decrease would be noticeable. I don't get your argument about it being a kludge; I think what we have now is the kludge. I do agree a get_declared_class() would probably have a high WTF factor, which is why I favor changing the original to (like Andrei said) accept a parameter which determines its behavior.
