This idea was brought up 6 months ago with others in https://wiki.php.net/r=
fc/calls_in_constant_expressions_poll#vote=0A=
(See the poll for "Support calls in static variables")=0A=
=0A=
The straw poll voting results were 14 against and 2 in favor of a limited s=
ubset of that functionality (and 0 for "any variable").=0A=
=0A=
Even with more compelling examples and references,=0A=
and only focusing on one area, I personally doubt this would pass. (a 2/3 m=
ajority is required)=0A=
=0A=
The 6 months period for repeating RFC ideas has passed.=0A=
The implementation for the corresponding RFC may be of use to anyone intere=
sted on working on similar areas,=0A=
but I'm currently not interested in doing further work on the implementatio=
n.=0A=
=0A=
Thanks,=0A=
