Re: Re: PATCH: anonymous functions in PHP

Hello Stanislav, and you did it again :-) Not working? What the hell are you talking of? We can easily make it working with whatever feature set we want. We do not support any feature ever thought of for everything in PHP. For instance our object model has no abstract with default body, no MI, no delegates, no overloading.... Back to functions. Given the long discussion about handling the non easy stuff I think we should go with the usual PHP approach here, "Keep It Simple Safe". As in keep everything that has to be discussed to death out. Why? Because it allows nice stuff and has often be requested. marcus Wednesday, December 19, 2007, 11:21:20 PM, you wrote: >> So how big a part of PHP's userbase is that?
