Hi! > and weird to me, and can be quickly emulated with list($a,$b) = > str_split([“ab”][0]); if someone was actually using it. BC breaks don't work this way.

It would be "OK, let's postpone the upgrade to $current_year + 5". -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/
