    Hi,

    here are some questions regarding PHP/FI 2 compatibility.

    1.  Are there any legacy features beside the
        old-function-definition?

        old-function-definition:
            'old_function' function-declarator '(' statement-list ')' ';'

    2.  Should those be part of the PHP Language Standard?

old_function() shouldn't be part of the language standard IMO. I can't think of any other things, but we will probably come up with some when we get into the more semantic descriptions. We might want to drop $array[] support and $string[n] for string indexing (using $string{n} instead although I still haven't implemented it). I still haven't had a chance to look at how far you have gotten with describing the grammar. I will try and take a look at it tomorrow. Anyway, I think we will resolve these issues when we start working together on actually describing the stuff. That is something I definitely want to do together but I'm aware that a kick start of drafting the grammar is important to get things rolling.
