Hi, every now and then while writing classes I forget to add the "function" keyword between my visibility modifier and the method name in a class declaration. I don't think it is required for readability and it is not needed by the parser to prevent conflicts, I therefore propose the following RFC incl. patch to allow writing class Foo { public bar() { echo "Hello World"; } } Without T_FUNCTION token. In my opinion an access modifier /public, private protected, static, final) should still be required for keeping readability.
