Great, everyone loves sarcasm, but you're describing exactly the
opposite of what's going on in this thread. There is a perceived need
for this functionality and you could argue for or against the
functionality instead. There's plenty of two character tokens in PHP
already and people aren't calling it "PerlHP" yet.
The -> suggestion if practicable seems the most intuitively correct to
me.
