In an early version of my RFC I had included a long section of
examples of how you could do what COPA does but with current syntax,
each with its flaws.
I've tried everything from magic methods, anonymous classes and closures :-)
I removed it because it didn't seem to add much to the discussion and
the RFC became too long for a thorough read.
Thanks for the creativity though, I like playing with ideas like that,
but I must confess I frown upon functions like get_defined_vars() and
extract(), if you know what I mean :-D
I'd like to iterate that I believe the force of COPA is it's
simplicity - and I think it's gone unnoticed for many that the only
thing COPA adds to existing syntax is a set of square brackets around
the assignments. Everything else is familiar.
I repeat, the only difference between these two snippets is the [...]:
------------------
$myObj->a = 1;
$myObj->b = 2;
$myObj->c = 3;
------------------
$myObj->[
a = 1,
b = 2,
c = 3,
];
