And this while introducing only 10% of the debugging knightmares of a full preproc. But then again I'm even wary of a version switch as it could lead to code like class A { declare(> php4) { static function foo() { ... } } declare(<= php4) { function foo() { ...} } } which raises copy/paste issues. I'd much rather see less incompatibilities introduced into PHP in an attempt to make PHP a language is was never meant to be ;-) - Chris
