Anyone remember the term "syntactic sugar"?Here it'll fail. My patch is basically allowing colons inside the class/function/constant name, so whitespace here is _crucial_, i.e., the following example WOULD work:$x = $y ? foo:bar : baz:stupid;Forcing whitespace here isn't an option. It is completely inconsistent with the rest of PHP. It's also a conversation that was had before PHP5.0 was ever released (when namespaces were first being attempted).
