Wouldn't you like to have adequate interpolation in php?

const SOMETHING = 333;

Personally, I find the interpolation we have "adequate", but you're not alone in thinking that a more powerful feature would be nice. Have a look at this recent thread for some of the possibilities and problems: https://externals.io/message/111519 As a general note, though, it's best to broach new topics with a bit more thought than this - being able to say "I've looked into improving X, and it seems possible that it could work like Y, with possible problem Z; should I pursue the idea?" is going to get a more favourable reaction than just "wouldn't you like X?".
