I have also very little belief of it ever getting into PHP, judging from the discussion.
Perhaps it will in PHP 12.0, perhaps never. Point is, that noone is willing to give any reasons, because they all seem to agree, that at the current point, they don't want it in. Perhaps it is because of stubbborness, perhaps because you're not the first who had asked, perhaps a totally different reason. Atm it is a one against many discussion and you seem to be the only one eager to keep it going.
Simply stop it now. You made your arguments. If many many ppl ask for that feature for a longer period of time, they'll reconsider implementing it.
Atm you simply look like a C++ programmer, who can't realize that PHP has different goals than C++, that you can't adapt and that you won't stop argueing something obviously noone wants to consider anyway.
Sorry to be that straight. ;)
