Hi
I have tried to catch up to the discussion yesterday evening. I must
admit its not very trivial for me to understand the entire scope of
the issues. I am especially worried about things becoming too magical
(although in general I am pro giving end users all the power in the
world). At this point I am beginning to wonder if we maybe should drop
any special OO handling from closures for now and leave it to the next
bigger release to decide if to readd it.
We have worked through the challenge of getting namespaces worked out
in 5.3, adding yet another increasingly heavy feature to the syntax
would delay us if we really want to make sure we get it right.
Screwing up would get us into a world of hurt and to me the main use
case we wanted to address was making it easier to define callbacks for
our various internal functions.
This is just my "managament" level view point given the discussion at
this stage and the goal to get PHP 5.3 out the door without delay from
any feature (since we have enough features to release even if we
remove one or two features).
regards,
Lukas
