 Hi

The best way to accomplish this is to make an RFC[1], detailing this
carefully, in a well-phrased manner.

Side note here, despite it may be "deadsimple", it may not be so
simple to just change PHP to act as you want in the next release, PHP
is used by hundreds of millions, this means that anything that can
change PHP's behavior must be analyzed, and it is very rarely we do
such changes in minor releases. This means that the next release, if
you write an RFC, should target PHP 7.2.0.

For a feature like you propose, or as to how I read it, it would most
likely never become default, but if it did get implemented in PHP, it
would most likely be an opt-in feature. Sorry, but it is the harsh
reality.


Again, like mentioned on the php-general@ list, please keep to the
mailing list rules, as linked in regards to top posting, and please do
not embed huge chunks of code into mails, send a link to a paste bin
instead, it makes the code rather hard to read and understand
properly. Thanks
