It "feels" wrong for 1/3 to be missing, but I probably just don't "get it" The const example seems quite contrived, given that a) it's allowed to be unset() and b) PHP has define() I believe that particular example weakens the RFC rather than strengthens it. Re: your conversation with Stas: I have to agree with Stas. In short, there is "complexity" and "complexity squared" and this just seems like "complexity squared" for a handful of edge cases that only provides syntactic sugar / less typing versus a new feature that is needed to achieve a goal that currently can't be done. If it made it possible to achieve the impossible, or even just simplified your code without such a wide scope for abuse by people who only think they know what they are doing... -- brain cancer update: http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/search/label/brain%20tumor Donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FS9NLTNEEKWBE
