Reading the array thread, someone mentioned having several ways of doing 
things.  One of their examples was the if: endif; syntax.  Forgive me if 
this has been discussed, but has anyone proposed removing that for PHP6? 
  Seems like the perfect time to do it.  Its not recommended.  Editors 
that check PHP syntax warn about it.  It just seems like a no brainer. =)

Please don't. <?php endif ?> reads much better than <?php } ?> in templates.

Regards,
Stefan

Says you :) But I don't think it should be removed either. Editor's have
no business defining what should and should not be useful in a language.

Cheers,
Rob.

I think removing it at this stage is really not an option. It doesn't hurt anyone and many find it beneficial inside embedded HTML.
