If someone could help me find the discusions on the topic, i would
greatly appreciate it. I searched and have not found anything yet. Or
if someone could explain why the idea was rejected.
Thanks

for the life of me I cant remember the date of it, (or even find it on
google/zend.com/marc.theaimsgroup... etc.)
from what i remember, it had a number of flaws.
a) ambiguaty of the source of a variable or method, (as it was
originally illustrated as poluting the local variable namespace)
b) the same (or similar) result, could easily be done using aliases,
eg.
$a = &$this->xxx->yyyy
$a->doThis();
rather than
with ($this->xxx->yyy) {
doThis();
}
Regards
Alan

Regarding being able to produce the same result with current constucts,
there is no argument, your right, im not at all implying its a necassary
construct, regarding ambiguity, it is well implemented in other
languages without problem.
