note 91614 deleted from language.oop5.late-static-bindings by danbrown

Note Submitter: rvwoens at gmail dot com Reason: useless ---- This is a perfect example of why php is getting worse and worse. Instead of starting with a good language concept, php started on the wrong foot years ago. Everything that was needed to transform it into a modern language was plugged onto it later. It is a good thing to update a language, but the ever lasting "upwards compatibility" requirement leads to these kind of evil solutions. The late binding omission is just a bug, and the self keyword could have been used for late bindings, because what is the use of an early binding? What we see here is that instead of fixing 'self', we get a recyled keyword. I think we come to a level where the php language should be considered broken beyond repair.
