Re: namespace separator poll, update

Why would you have to do that. You only have to look at the last :: / ::: sequence. It's not that hard. - David Am 28.11.2005 um 07:27 schrieb Andrei Zmievski:

Gah! I have to squint and count the colons in something like System:::Socket:::Pair::open(). Yikes. My vote is for \. -Andrei On Nov 27, 2005, at 2:47 PM, Oliver Grätz wrote:

Hi *! I updated the table with the comments in the thread. First of all: YES, these won't work as operator: - "<-" means "less than the negative value of" - ":" collides with the ternary BUT the discussion is not only about possibility but also about what you would like. The ":" for example would work if mandatory whitespace would be introduced for the ternary BUT this is very very bad. Regarding the other suggestions, ":::" seems to be something almost everybody could at least live with.

Notes: - I took +2 as "likes" +1 as "is fine with" +0 as "can live with" -1 as "dislikes" -2 as "hates" empty for "no comment, no opinion, don't care" - Please don't enter anything other than these values! - The "s" column stands for "self-filled". I compiled the current table from the comments in this newsgroup, so perhaps I didn't get their comments right. - The operators : <- -> could make big problems with the parser. More complaints to follow. *g* - Feel free to add new suggestions to the right. - If you add your name at the bottom, please copy the free line so the next one also has a free one. - Do only edit the votes in *your* line! - Correct the sums if you post. - Please post as attachment! If some of the operators are definitely impossible to implement, please put the headline of column in parentheses (as in "(<-)") ans add a note why this operator can't be done (Hi Marcus *g*). --PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
