Can you back this up, please?

I've gone on record as stating that annotations within docblocks are sufficient, and would rather see native support for parsing docblocks for annotations than introducing a new syntax. Others have stated the same. I'd like to see why a new syntax is considered "necessary", and why native support for docblock annotations is not considered a reasonable path. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matt...@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
