Re: T_AS in closures

If anything, that is opposite of consistency, since "as" is used in two contradictory roles - for naming iterating variable and for renaming variable without iterating. I don't see how it's any "consistency" to add a new feature while reusing syntax used in existing features for different purposes. > functions would have local-scope names for variables that are passed > to them. Those things are called function parameters, and anonymous functions use them the same way as named functions, no difference there either. And of course anon functions can have local vars too. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
