Note Submitter: dormam at gmail dot com ---- @SM: using end instead of endif/endforeach/etc. doesn't make sense in this case. The idea of alternative syntax is to allow better templating, so indicating what kind of block is ending (by saying endif you know you're ending an if) is a good thing. Just saying end... it's meaningless. If you would only say end, then just use brackets. About using BASIC's syntax, I see no need. By using endif/endwhile together, without a space, you use a single token in a very simple way. No need to split words. I think the alternative syntax PHP has in the present is very fitting to the intentions for it's use.
