What I think is that I have written a 600-line RFC, that you refuse to =
comment because you still hope you can impose a D-like syntax by another =
way. I don't agree on a pre-vote on design and, then, care about =
details, because that's just an artefact to get an agreement on D-like =
syntax before people can read and understand my proposal, and without =
exploring the implications of your design.

Here is a fair way to proceed: I have written an RFC, trying to explore =
honestly every aspects of the design I'm proposing. Now, either you =
agree, or you write yours with the same goal in mind. Then, we may =
choose. That's the rule. Saying 'I don't like that' without proposing an =
alternative is not the right way. I won't help you get an a-priori =
approval, just to say thereafter that, whatever problem we find, we must =
stick with this design because it was pre-approved. If you write an RFC =
and people approve it, that's OK.

Anyway, as I think DbC can be implemented without any change in the =
core, I'll probably implement it by myself as a zend extension. So, you =
can do what you want in PHP 7.
