No, obviously all languages shouldn't be like C and PHP has plenty of stuff that looks nothing like C, but like it or not, a lot of PHP's syntax came from C and I don't think we should be adding syntax that looks like something from C but doesn't act like it. I still think this is a really fringe feature that isn't worth one of the first forward compatibility breaks in the procedural language in years. -Rasmus
