Hi!
LOL, That pretty much defeats the whole KISS approach. I suggest we drop that after all then.
PHP always had some areas that are not as simple as others (references for one). Maybe we should just close the project and go play Tetris? That's very unproductive position - "do it as I want or remove it". I think it would be just insane to drop perfectly working, much needed and announced feature - because Marcus Boerger doesn't like the looks of the syntax. I don't understand how we even could discuss it here.
That 'not use it then' has always and every single time in the past let us to drop the feature in question.
That's bullshit. Each feature has the right way to use it and wrong ways. If we drop each feature that can be misused, we won't have any features left. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
