What happened with the proposal/RFC for expanding include/require with
additional optional second param to allow for developers to define in place
if he want's a pure PHP file to be included or a template file with direct
HTML output?
I like that proposal and take it over any other, because it gives developer
a choice. And if things do not go the right way and he ends up screwing up
somewhere - he is able to fall back to the old mode just by modifying the
include/require statement (and in a MVC framework with autoload usage that
would be 1-2 places in the whole project).
All that stuff with keywords, removing <?php tags and using special
extensions require a continuous effort from the developers, additional
support from the IDE/editors/other tools. Do we really need all that just
to give people the ability to load their scripts as a pure PHP code?
To my mind a modification to the include/require statements is all there is
required to add that extra thing that Kris want's so badly and does not
require to change your habbits, IDE templates, waiting for IDE/editors/WEB
source code highlight libraries/source analyzers/etc to catch up with the
change.
There is also a question I just raised that is not yet answered that the
keyword/extension thing can just break the valid performance tweak
technique, that is used extensively in any project with big code base.
