We're not making 5.2 a placeholder, we're making it a transitional version. A means of softening the impact of migrating applications to take advantage of PHP6 which introduces a lot of interversion compatability issues. How many applications out there aren't taking advantage of things like property visibility in PHP5 because they want to remain compatable with the myriad PHP4 installations? How much are compromises like that slowing PHP5 adoption? With something like binary strings it's even more important since they drastically change how the data is treated in PHP6 and can potentially cause chunks to be transformed in unexpected ways. +1 on backporting these types of syntax placeholders. -Sara -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
