I was reminded tonight of the following 'feature' of switch:
$a = 0;
switch($a) {
case 'somestring': echo 'Bug?'; break;
case 0: echo 'Not a bug'; break;
}
This will echo 'Bug?' with PHP 4. It seems more logical to have switch
comparing with T_IS_IDENTICAL than with T_IS_EQUAL. Is this something that
might be changed as we move to PHP 5.0?
