They're not that complex. They are basically a syntax sugar around iterators, and we already have tons of iterators which are widely used. Actually, it's easier than iterator since you have to implement just one method, not five of them. Of course, it's not a beginner's feature - but we have now many features which require some understanding of the language - like magics, anonymous functions, etc. It doesn't by itself make it inappropriate. If we can make it work in a way that won't be confusing and illogical for people knowing how iterators work, then I think it's OK. -- 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
