Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Deprecate properties using var
From: smalyshev@gmail.com (Stanislav Malyshev)

Hi!

> remove support for it in PHP 8. This compliments the [0] "Remove PHP 4

How the life of the PHP user would be improved by this? Except for
making more code break, I'm not sure how it's helpful, could you explain?

> Constructors" RFC, as it is old PHP 4 behaviour, and according to the docs

"var" is the same as "public", public is proper visibility.
