@Chad: You're getting me wrong here.
If results of poll decide for OK to meta attribute support, next poll
would be which implementation to choose.
I can find 3 different implementations that we can choose, but anyone
is free to contribute.
- Docblock
/** @Foo */
class User { ... }
- New syntax similar to first patch
[Foo]
class User { ... }
- A keyword scope similar to method/namespace declaration
annotate { return new Foo(); }
class User { ... }
But before even spend time talking over and over about implementation,
I wanna ask if we should invest time into it, since I got a lot of
flaming responses (and I still continue, even though people barely see
what I'm asking).
If you say that we should enhance docblock to allow retrieve of @foo,
you're automatically saying +1 to this thread.
I do not want to enter in discussion about implementation because I
don't even know if it will be accepted. I don't want to spend a lot of
time to produce a patch to something that will not be accepted. So
let's decide IF and possibly WHAT to implement, then I can work on it.
All I want is a democratic decision, and not something that one guy
answer as "NO" and end of story.
If majority says "YES", one person being against it doesn't sound to
me like a democracy/meritocracy.
Cheers,
