If we are going to bother to change the language, then let's do it consistently and allow trailing commas on all lists in the grammar. These are the ones on mind right now: - use declarations - group use declarations - function call argument list - class member lists (both constants and properties) - argument list declarations - arrays (already allowed) As exemplified in this gist: https://gist.github.com/marcioAlmada/75f8f1d47da5dcac2e57 Why? Because it prevents a reality where each PHP minor version introduces trailing commas in a new different place, hurting code portability. Because it couldn't get more consistent. And more importantly: because we would get rid of this discussion about trailing commas, forever j/k :) ty, Márcio
