Hi, I'd love if you ever discuss these items for 5.4:
- ReflectionNamespace Currently it's impossible to grab a docblock that documents an Annotations, for example, or even access the namespace declaration. It's also impossible to check which "use" is declared on the namespace/file/class scope. - Annotations I already proposed a patch and none here discussed. You rather preferred to shout "PHP doesn't need Annotations" instead of discuss the patch that was proposed. Actually, it was proposed twice, but it seems that you only looked at first one (which I agree that was incompatible with PHP way of being). Pierrick and I updated the patch to be as similar as possible with PHP structure, but none here even looked at it. For those interested: https://github.com/adoy/PHP-Annotations - SplArray We currently support SplInt, SplString, SplFloat, SplBool, etc. We could support SplArray which would perfectly enhance implementations that need to keep track of array state. Currently PHP provides 0 support on this area, and it would be nice if it provides a helpful API to it. One good example to look at is: https://github.com/doctrine/common/blob/master/lib/Doctrine/Common/Collections/Collection.php - Comparable Since operators overloading on PHP is hard to be implemented natively, we could easily support it through OO. This idea can be extensively discussed, but someone already proposed a patch previously any none discussed it. PS: I think that internals mailing list should be revised with all proposed ideas and wrap them on a better plan. It seems to me that you are not interested on user's request and rather accept/implement only what the features that interest you. It's very bad for the language and very bad for all of users.
