Are you asking me, or the list? If me: I don't know. I suspect it would be, but I think Joe Watkins nailed it in his recent email on this thread: "This seems like a crazy conversation to me, not only is it crazy, it's a waste of time; I don't see any of the people able to implement it actually implementing it, and I don't see a vote going in favour of the idea if there were an implementation." I'm not going to implement it. Will you be implementing it? I suspect not, as you said "I don't know C very well". I think it does look like a nice syntax extension, but I don't think it'll end up in PHP. I only waded in to correct someone who said that structs in C# don't have methods :-) Richard Bradley Tel : 020 7485 7500 ext 3230 | Fax : 020 7485 7575 softwire Sunday Times Best Small Companies 2012 - 6th in the UK Web : www.softwire.com | Addr : 325 Highgate Studios, 53-79 Highgate Road, London NW5 1TL Softwire Technology Limited.
