Re: [RFC] Alternative syntax for Nowdoc.

Hi Manuel, If I am not wrong, is not your proposal similar to python's triple-quoted? It is confusing; don't do this. Instead, current syntax are sufficient. Second, (`) have special meaning in PHP. It is used to execute commands on a machine. Why do we have confusing syntax?
