ble to make it into PHP 8.1 due to how the RFC process works,it seems that =
this feature just came into your mind and you decided to send it onto the l=
ist without considering its ramifications.Userland contribution and opinion=
s on new features (or other internal discussion) is valuable but oughts to =
consider all the ramifications, good and bad, and how it affects the langua=
ge as a whole. I say this because I didn't do this when I started contribut=
ing on this list and it made for less than stellar discussions.

Hi, George,

I am not an expert in developing programming languages. However, I don't ag=
ree with that.

When Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan developed C. They didn't think in a=
void pointers because of they thought what they could be dangerous.
Surely when someone invented air planes, he didn't think of risks but oppor=
tunities

It was my fault. I thought that someone here would propose an idea and if t=
his was useful, then everyone would find the best way to put it into code.

With last Rowan email, I understood that this purpose is useless. However, =
if it had been useful, I had expected answers like:
"hey, Manuel, ``` is dangerous, why don't use other syntax like ...  ?
or
"Manuel,  why don't use this for heredoc ?

In one word: Synergy.

Why should this be done?. Because someone can read my purpose and can modif=
y to something better, maybe a great change to the language.

I think so.=20
