the dollar sign?
Do you think that would be a good effect for PHP users if that change
would exist
in a future version of PHP (even in PHP6!)? It's a simple change but a
great shift!

I really do not find it reasonable to change the dollar sign to
something
else.
If we could switch the dollar sign notation in variables on and off
with a directive in php.ini, that would break backwards compatibility
between apps
not only in a single user environments but also in shared hosting
envs.
Imagine having to switch into dollar sign notation for a phpbb
installation
and to a notation without the dollar sign for a custom
application. It's
just
crazy!

I'm not being sarcastic, if you mean it. :p
