I would argue that list() (and [] when used like list()) should remain a terminal expression. Yes it's possible to make it non-terminal, but I don't like what the resulting syntax winds up looking like. -Sara

Good question. If it's possible to make it behave this way, I don't see why not. On the other hand, if you take list(), it can't be used in RHS. -Andrei On Feb 5, 2007, at 10:28 AM, Todd Ruth wrote:
Would this be legal? function f() {

} $x = [ $a, $b ] = f(); In the end, would we have...? $a = 1; $b = 2; $x = array(1,2); I'm not trying to be positive or negative about the syntax. I'm just "testing" somewhat edge cases. - Todd
