Please stop this.

The minutes of the Paris meeting committed to implementing this for PHP 6, =
and it's a much-needed feature (IMHO, of course!). If you're going to start=
 arguing against what looks very much like a firm decision of an eminent gr=
oup of PHP core developers, you need *much* better reasons than "I don't li=
ke it" or "too like language x".

Cheers!
