Re: Operator overloading for userspace objects

These operators only make sense on value objects, not service objects, and > value objects should be immutable. I completely agree. This was the gist of my earlier comments. Maybe we should resurrect discussion of the immutable classes and properties RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/immutability If we add the ability to specify immutability, then we can enforce in the engine that the left and right operands must be immutable. For example: public function __add(immutable $left, immutable $right); Cheers, Ben
