Re: substr/array_slice in []

So it's okay to discuss implementation of esoteric features like class posing, but something as basic as a string/array slice operation still gets a knee-jerk reaction? Double standards my friends, double standards.. -Andrei Stanislav Malyshev wrote:

Here's much better reason: PHP is not the kitchen sink of features and syntaxes. Not every cool idea belongs to core PHP. I am saying that this particular feature definitely doesn't, but it needs to be proven that it does. My opinion is that the same function is easily implemented by existing means so adding this syntax is redundant.
