Object and Array Literals

Hello. I've posted a RFC concerning Object and Array Literals on the wiki: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/objectarrayliterals Please read, and if you have a comment that is not already covered in the RFC, raise it here. I'm definitely open to discussion, but I would really love to keep this discussion civil. To get the ball rolling, here are a few points that I think we need to discuss: • Strictness of unquoted keys. • Support => in addition to : as a key:value separator. • possibility of simply not supporting the \u### syntax for Unicode characters in literal strings (just like the rest of PHP). • Should mixed-format (numeric and associative arrays) be allowed? (e.g. [1,'two':2, 3]) I beg you to keep name-calling, conclusion-jumping, and general hostility out of this thread. Thanks for your attention. S
