We don't need a full-blown preprocess for that. The much simpler version switch proposed earlier would do. And this while introducing only 10% of the debugging knightmares of a full preproc.

But then again I'm even wary of a version switch as it could lead to code like

class A
{

declare(> php4)
{
        static function foo() { ... }
}

declare(<= php4)
{
        function foo() { ...}
}

}

which raises copy/paste issues.

I'd much rather see less incompatibilities introduced into PHP in an attempt to make PHP a language is was never meant to be ;-)
