The mess does not exist because we have array_key() instead of array->key(). There's nothing wrong with having array_key(). The mess exists because functions do not form single API with single principle behind it, but were added in ad-hoc manner, sometimes without correlating them with others. So, if you want to clean it up, you'd want to write a plan how new API would look like and how it will be better than old one. If the solution is "let's use ->" then it's not worth it. The solution that's worth it is "let's have this better API" and that's where we should start, not with changing array_key() to array->key() and saying "now we have clean sexy API". -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
