Me and Pierre have discussed this before, Pierre was in favour of it last time we talked about it. I’d certainly be in favour of allowing function to be omitted when there’s a visibility specifier, like so: public foo() {} public static foo() {} Easy to implement, too. What are the list’s thoughts? I don’t think it really hampers readability much. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
