Re: RFC: C-sharp style property get/set syntax for PHP

A keyword in PHP means that it cannot be used as a name for something like a class/method/function etc. but of course still allowed in variable and constants (defined using define() -- not const as its compile time). class global { } /* fatal error */ function default() { } /* fatal error */ -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
