4.5 Cleanup for {} vs. []
It was already discussed. Many people would be confused from
documentation statement "[] was marked as deprecated in 4.0.6 - 5.1
but then suddenly {} was deprecated instead and removed in 6.0" and
many scripts would refuse to work due to this.
That's why we wanted to add the E_STRICT warning about it..
But I'd rather have this whole issue changed back to what
it really was about: separating [] and {} altogether.
We could start with making it an E_ERR..erm..E_STRICT notice
if you use {} with arrays or [] with strings. And really separate
them in PHP 6. But does it make any sense?
Removing {} is ultimately the right thing to do, whatever the
anti-purists may think. "{$str{1}}" vs. "{$str[1]}", you decide..
