I'm not strongly opposed to this behavior but I do have concerns about the key behavior that was changed. In an example in the RFC: list($foo => $bar) = $array; I don't think this really makes sense. $foo is being evaluated and its value is used to look up the key in $array, but $bar is being assigned to even though it's a similar place as $foo. I don't think I've really expressed well what I am trying to convey but I think this RFC would be much better *without* this change, so I've voted no.
