This RFC by Dennis was never 100% finalized, however from what I remember it was suggested too late in 5.3's development process to be implemented, and so do I think we are in 5.4 already as the RFC would need some extra care before sent to the list, perhaps even a patch for parts of it. The RFC itself evolved quite a bit doing its drafts on the wiki, I remember having long emails with Dennis about the syntax, as it evolved to allow many more things and additions to the object model, like final properties, interfaces with properties, getters, setters, .... But in the end I think it would rime greatly with traits and other goodies in 5.4 if someone took the time and care for this RFC, just worried its way too late already. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
