Every language needs these features. Microsoft completely solved the core problems surrounding multithreaded programming with the concepts behind these two keywords. +1 to reserving these keywords even though PHP isn't currently a multithreaded language. IMO, PHP CLI is just as viable as PHP SAPI. And PHP CLI is where multithreaded functionality makes a lot more sense. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President I've got great, time saving software that you will find useful. http://cubiclesoft.com/
