I'm opening up several new threads to get discussion going on the
remaining "being debated" categories referenced in this 1.1 -> 1.2
change spec:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax-as-implemented/change-requests
Shadowing
v1.1 has properties shadow accessors, the suggestion is that this be
inverted. Specifically this means that in v1.1, if an accessor is
defined and no property is defined, then the accessor will be used. But
when a property is assigned/declared then the property will “shadow” the
accessor and the accessor will no longer be used until the property is
unset().
v1.2 Proposes that this be inverted such that if there is an accessor
defined for a given property name, the accessor will always be used. The
accessor would be able to get/set/isset/unset the property with the same
name as the accessor. No direct access to the property would be allowed
except from within the accessor.
v1.2 proposal seems to make the most sense however it would incur a
slight (possibly *very* slight) performance penalty.
Thoughts?
