Even when I've never liked that much "=>" and would love to see ":" make an entrance instead . I'm afraid that if ":" is associated with the JSON interop argument and the later is discarded then ":" will be discarded too, much like what happened with the echo shortcut ("<?=") and the short tags ("<?"). Perhaps the idea of JSON interop could be taken to another RFC and get less noise and better ideas as a separate topic. Regards, David
