You seem to agree :) If we should do it _soon_, and not _now_, then it is a _bit_ too early isn't it ?? The end of 2015 is very far away from the perspective of the PHP user; they are not engaged in learning what will be available in two years time, look at adoption rates. The anonymous classes patch is actually simple, I can't imagine that it will have a profound effect on the things around it ... Cheers Joe
