Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Shorter Attribute Syntax Change RFC 0.2
From: benas.molis.iml@gmail.com (Benas IML)

A grep search was done by someone in the mailing list in the original
`<<...>>` to `@@...` RFC thread when discussing whether `#[` is going
to be a huge BC or not.

Just about all of the matches were either from old codebases or from
old PHP 3-5 Metasploit exploits, which are about 5-15 years old.

Best regards,
Benas

P.S: I accidentally sent this to Rowan only, so forwarding this to the
mailing list as well.
