The original suggestion was to carry through with the deprecation of [] which I strongly vetoed since it would break everything. We can revisit whether we want to remove {} in PHP 6. I didn't think people had such strong feelings about it. From my checks with people, most had no idea you could even use {}'s on strings. -Rasmus Sascha Schumann wrote: > And it really should not be going away in PHP 6 either.
