Hi!
The crux of the issue is what our end goal is: 1. Require users to explicitly annotate classes that use dynamic properties, but otherwise keep dynamic properties as a fully supported part of the core language. 2. Remove support for dynamic properties entirely. The core language only has declared properties and __get/__set, and nothing else. stdClass is just a very efficient implementation of __get/__set.I think goal (1) is reasonable for the long run, and goal (2) is taking it a bit too far for PHP. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
