Since they didn't have those to begin with it's not so-much taking anything away from them.
On the patch: +1 As to printing :public on public props I'm -1 on that. There's no benefit from tacking on those extra characters and people are familiar with the current syntax. Besides, it's what print_r() has been doing for some time now so those that truly care have had an opporotunity to accomodate to that style. -Sara -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
