Re: [RFC] Alternative syntax for Nowdoc.

Being positive is good but relying on others is not. If you really believe that your idea is worth considering, I suggest revisiting it. You can ask your self the following questions: - How is it useful? - what special thing does it provide with that the current implementation does not? - What could be the better syntax? - Does any other language have the similar feature? - If yes, what is the benefit? - Will your idea cause any BC break? - Do your proposed syntax make any confusion? - How can you make it further clear? If you have answers to all of these questions, you can come and convince the people here. Still, I don't find your proposal till now that compelling. Rather considering the opinions shared here as an offence, take them positively and redesign your thought.
