Maybe you have spoken to the wrong people then. Since {} has
been advocated for quite some time as the Right Way to access
string offsets, basically all PHP books teach that syntax.
As such {} is used very frequently. There are vast amounts
of code with that syntax. Breaking it deliberately is a
very bad idea from my POV.

The PHP 6 stuff is still up in the air. The original suggestion was to carry through with the deprecation of [] which I strongly vetoed since it would break everything. We can revisit whether we want to remove {} in PHP 6. I didn't think people had such strong feelings about it. From my checks with people, most had no idea you could even use {}'s on strings.

And it really should not be going away in PHP 6 either. I
don't get why you are suggesting to expend so many resources
as part of a migration effort while it is obvious that there
are no advantages at all in dropping {}. It makes no sense.

For the 13th time. {} is not going away in 5.1.
