The points I am making is I believe array access and object creation are fairly good utilities that would naturally fit inside the language without looking like they do not belong, I do not call those syntax sugar. The function calls I believe could also be a utility that if not for PHP's error model could also fit more naturally. Regardless of my belief on syntax highlighting I think that the function patch could be useful and used responsibly by the PHP user base and would be a good "enhancement", yes, I said enhancement. Syntax sugar already exists in PHP, and they call it syntax "sugar", because it is sweet, not bitter, duh. :-) Regards, -Chris
