Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Dropping requirement for `function` keyword for methods
 in classes/interfaces/etc
From: zeev@zend.com (Zeev Suraski)

Are we really trying to look under ground now for ways to change the
language syntax?

Unless there's a strong case to adding/removing/changing syntax, that
goes well beyond 'because we can' or 'it shortens the code' it
shouldn't even be brought up for discussion.
