are you saying this feature is too esoteric for you ? :)
besides i didnt create the double quoted support and thats not even what im
arguing about anyway. the syntax ive mentioned was there in a pre-5.2.4
release (discovered it didnt actually make the cut for the 5.2.4) it save
you from having to write ugly little helper methods and thats a benefit i
wouldnt mind having.
php has a great dilema, it wants to cater to a wide range of users; from
newbs to experts. thats a massive undertaking and well if youre gonna do
it, you may as well go whole-hog IMHO.
