This is an interesting idea, but the problem is that there would then be syntax in PHP4 which means absolutely nothing. This simply wouldn't make sense to have. Not only that, PHP5 is already out so this would only really make it so that some PHP5 code could run on PHP4, but who knows if it would work right.
