Subject: Casting in list()
From: hanskrentel@yahoo.de (hakre)

I just run over this a few times lately (it is a bit indirect because of no=
t having much logic in the overall syntax, but probably not that bad), for =
PHPs list() construct I think it would be nice being able to cast the assig=
nments on the fly:=0A=0A=A0=A0=A0 list((string) $name) =3D array(new SplFil=
eInfo(__FILE__));=0A=0A(yes this example is not very creative but should be=
 enough for a brief illustration).=0A=0AWould this be possible? I know some=
 folks do not like list, but on the other hand, things like these don't wor=
k in PHP:=0A=0A=A0=A0=A0 $name =3D (string) ($array ? : [new SplFileInfo(__=
FILE__)])[0]=0A=0Aand having casting list list() can be handy then.=0A=0AIs=
 this hard to add to core PHP?=0A=0A-- hakre=0A
