I makes IMHO perfect sense to also allow a similar syntax for arrays. But the implementation should be closed (in the mathematical sense), so that $o->m()[0]->n() also works, for instance, when m() returns an array that has an object with method n() at index 0. -- [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Demeter [2] http://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/FluentInterface.html -- Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ GnuPG Key: 0xB85B5D69 / 27A7 2B14 09E4 98CD 6277 0E5B 6867 C514 B85B 5D69
