Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] RFC: Short syntax for Arrays (redux)
From: sean@seancoates.com (Sean Coates)

I'm one of the people who've brought it up on Twitter. Today's =
discussion seems to have earned some traction, which is a step in the =
right direction, I believe.

> I would prefer (as Rasmus pointed out) not to start a long discussion =
about it. Primarily I would be curious if anyone on the lists (from the =
RFC wiki page) below would like to change your vote or if you are not =
listed below and would like to be counted, that would be great too.

At risk of turning this into a longer-than-necessary discussion, I =
believe a new RFC is required at this point. Making [ and ] work as =
(T_ARRAY, '(') and (')'), respectively is no longer good enough, for the =
main reason you've pointed out: JSON is becoming ubiquitous; actual =
first-class JSON would be very valuable to me.

I would be happy to find some time to participate in RFC reform for this =
subject.

That said:
